Moroccan Embassy Official Accused of Cross-Border Harassment, Pursues Victim to Morocco

This case, which occurred a few weeks ago, is worthy of a Colombian or Spanish soap opera, this romantic story, long relayed in the local press, has a new twist. Despite the complaint filed for harassment in Belgium, this official of the Moroccan Embassy in Belgium is not ready to let go.

Enamored with his young collaborator, Naïma Zaizaa, a 33-year-old teacher who has repeatedly rebuffed his advances, this Moroccan Embassy official in Belgium will eventually come up with an original idea to show her his love.

It is that of invading his victim’s neighborhood, by leaving Belgium over a distance of 2,870 km for a travel time of 29 hours aboard a motorhome. He went to the teacher’s city in Morocco - Safi - to spy on her and film her, reports La dernière heure.

This feat accomplished by the harasser, however, did not receive a favorable echo from his "sweetheart", the teacher recruited in Morocco by the Hassan II Foundation to teach Arabic to Moroccan-origin children in Brussels.

For her protection, in addition to her complaint for sexual harassment filed on May 21 in Brussels, Naïma Zaizaa has filed another complaint for threats with the King’s Prosecutor in Safi. She took the opportunity to inform the local media again.

In her statement, she indicates that she found her former boss, now her harasser, on her path, who, in addition to spying on her, does not fail to film her in the streets.

Contacted by these media, the harasser refused to make any statement. However, he reacted upon learning of his victim’s complaint: "She says what she wants. I’m not going to shut her up."
