Moroccan Tax Official and Accomplice Accused of $3.9 Million Embezzlement Scheme

So far, according to the DGSN, the investigation has revealed among other things that the tax collector was paying large sums of money into the "front company" account of the other suspect. The pretext to legitimize these payments was: allocation of the corporate tax surplus. No less than 39 million dirhams have thus been embezzled.

As for money laundering, still according to the same source, the money collected was used to purchase real estate and movable assets, and the remainder was deposited into bank accounts.

In any case, the authorities were able to recover almost all of the embezzled cash. They also seized the real estate funds and other purchases (cars...) made thanks to this embezzlement of public funds. The investigations continue to recover the rest.

As for the two suspects, they are currently in custody for the purposes of the investigation and will be brought before the judge after the final conclusions of the latter.
