Moroccan Court Upholds 2-Year Sentence for Royal Impersonator in Influence Peddling Case

The victims of the accused are numerous, according to the documents published on the Facebook account of the site Adare. The first on this long list is the Saudi billionaire Mohamed Cheikh Al Amoudi, the former boss of the oil refinery "SAMIR". The defendant benefited from this sum in exchange for a service he did not even render. He is also said to have helped several personalities to access Moroccan airports without their luggage being checked.

According to the same source, the forger was able to postpone public tenders from the Banque Populaire and also obtain gifts from this banking institution, which was headed at the time by Mohamed Benchaâboun, the current Minister of Finance. He also promised other personalities to intervene to facilitate their appointment to senior positions.
