The victim, who was bleeding profusely, was taken to a health center by a passer-by. If the latter had not intervened so quickly, the abdominal injury could have caused the victim’s death, argued the prosecutor who is asking the competent court to sentence the Moroccan to a sentence of seven years and seven months in prison.
