Moroccan Lawmaker Sought Official’s Blessing for Daughter’s Marriage to Alleged Drug Lord

If we asked someone what kind of business could link a deputy and his daughter, a wali, and a drug baron, he might answer a traffic accident, or maybe harassment, or even disputes over land, but... certainly not this!

The deputy of the tractor party, Mohamed Hammami, has just revealed in a more than public video that he had consulted Mohammed Al Yaâcoubi, the former wali of Tanger-Tétouan al-Hoceima, about the marriage of his daughter to a drug baron.

The MP stated in the video, posted on YouTube, that the governor had given his approval. And the union has since been... Accepted!

Several questions now arise. The first (of course): Why? Or to put it another way, what did the wali’s approval guarantee? The non-future arrest of the baron? The non-future arrest of the daughter? The daughter’s safety? Something else? What?

And why even consider this marriage? A parliamentarian father-in-law of a drug baron and even choosing to be so? Is it... Normal? He even makes a publicity stunt of it... Knowingly! Maybe even happy to talk about it.

And the wali... The wali... Knowing the drug barons, leaving them at liberty, and even blessing their marriages... With daughters of deputies!

A marriage between two families, one of politics and the other of drug trafficking, blessed by the executive... This is the summary, in all objectivity.
