Moroccan Expat Seeks Royal Intervention After 30 Million Dirham Investment Scam

The case is under deliberation at the court of first instance in Agadir, and the judgment should be handed down on February 9, says the Moroccan residing abroad, who had intended to invest in a fishing boat. Unaware of the administrative procedures, she had entrusted her projects to an individual, who made her pay dearly for her blind trust.

In 2006, she found herself with a false bank certificate and a falsified bank model. Two official documents that the individual would have made to divert a good part of the money. He would have imitated her signature to carry out a real estate transaction with the help of a notary, currently in detention.

After losing around 30 million dirhams, the woman would still not be safe from a new scam, she added. Her scammer, still at large, threatens to seize an apartment she owns in Morocco. And a payment order would have been served on her by a bailiff.

Stripped of all her possessions, and distraught, the Moroccan residing abroad, who places her hopes in King Mohammed VI, launches a cry for help to the delegated president of the Supreme Council of the Judiciary, Mustapha Fares, and to the Attorney General, Mohammed Abdennabaoui.
