Several victims were awaiting the decision of the Témara Court, during the trial of the one who extorted them nearly 40 million dirhams, before disappearing in Spain. She is being prosecuted for fraud and breach of trust.

According to the Akhbarona website, an employee of the Land Conservation and Cadastre Agency of Témara had managed to manipulate her victims, by promising them the acquisition of disputed real estate at prices below their real value.

The scheme bore fruit as several victims fell into the trap, entrusting her with large sums of money in order to obtain disputed land, before learning of her sudden disappearance.

The coordination between the Moroccan and Spanish authorities led to the arrest of the defendant in Spain. She was finally extradited to Morocco. Before the judge, she admitted to defrauding more than 40 million dirhams from her victims.
