Moroccan Police Refute Expat’s Viral Claims of Misconduct in Agadir

In a video posted on social networks, a Moroccan residing abroad (MRE) denounces the abuse of power by the police services and claims to have been the victim of an abusive report in the city of Agadir for an offense he did not commit. These accusations forced the DGSN to open an investigation.

Summoned by the Police Precinct, which had previously heard both parties, the individual finally admitted to having committed the offense and recorded the video in which he accuses the police of corruption. A judicial procedure initiated by the Public Prosecutor’s Office has been launched in order to bring the case to justice.

The DGSN specified that the reporting procedure was carried out in a professional and unambiguous manner. The individual was at no time the victim of an abuse of power or overstepping by the traffic officer. The DGSN adds that it has the obligation to ensure the protection of its employees by allowing them to face the accusations of the persons involved.
