Morocco Corruption Scandal: Top Police Officials Arrested in National Security Probe

The defendants were unmasked thanks to a vast audit operation carried out by the services of the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN). These are a set of offenses and excesses that would have been committed by a divisional commissioner, a senior police commissioner and a group commander, in addition to a police commissioner and a peace officer.

They have been provisionally suspended and made available to the BNPJ, which has initiated in-depth research and investigations under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office. The judicial investigation also implicated the wife of one of the security officials involved, as well as a jeweler from the city of Meknes, for their involvement in the presentation of forged receipts and vouchers, the statement said.
