Moroccan Judges Under Investigation After Leaked Audio Reveals Alleged Corruption

The public prosecutor’s office ordered, on Saturday, the opening of an investigation into judges who would have interfered in an ongoing case. The alleged involvement of the judges would have been reported by an audio recording circulating on social networks.

The thirty-minute audio is a discussion between two judges working out the strategies by which they can influence the outcome of an ongoing case. In the same audio, the two judges spoke in unflattering terms about certain members of the defense.

Following the dissemination of this recording on social networks, the ministry took over the case, ordering the opening of an investigation which will have to confirm the authenticity of the audio and succeed in identifying the persons implicated, know the extent of this case of influence, accusations of corruption.

Even if names are circulating on the judges implicated, it seems obvious that the audio was recorded in a premeditated manner. Discovering the person who made this recording could allow the national brigade of the judicial police to move faster in this investigation.
