Moroccan Police Officer Flees to Europe Amid Financial Misconduct Probe

The security services of Tétouan have just opened an investigation into one of their own, this Monday, under the supervision of the Attorney General, to determine the professional shortcomings and financial irregularities of which he would be the author. This officer worked within the administrative department of the Tétouan Police Prefecture. He would be on the run.

According to some information, the police officer in question would have fled Morocco towards a European country. Serious financial irregularities would have been noted during his service, especially in the transport vouchers. This police officer, who was in charge of the equipment, had responsibility for it. So far, we are talking about an amount of 14,000 dirhams that would have been misappropriated. But the investigation is ongoing. Not to mention the question of the principle itself.

According to AlYaoum24, citing a source within the security services, the judicial police would have issued a national arrest warrant against him, and would be in the process of issuing an international arrest warrant to get their hands on him and bring him to justice.

These events are taking place while another police officer has just been congratulated by the Director General of National Security (DGSN), Abdellatif Hammouchi, for his exceptional services and professionalism. This police inspector from Larache has also received "a monetary reward" for "his integrity and uprightness in the exercise of his duties, as well as for his effective involvement in the policy of consecrating the values of moralization and governance advocated by the DGSN," according to a DGSN press release. Not only did the latter refuse bribes, but he led to the arrest of the corruptors.
