Morocco’s Interior Ministry Denies Rumors of Disciplinary Action Against Officials

In a clarification, the Ministry of the Interior "categorically denies these unfounded allegations, which remain false information."

It is in these terms that the Ministry of the Interior put an end to the rumors reporting that "sanctions and disciplinary measures have been taken against a number of authority agents of different ranks and at the level of several regions, prefectures and provinces of the Kingdom."

According to the department of Abdelouafi Laftit, messages containing allegations of the kind, "Urgent, list of governors, general secretaries, pashas and caids, victims of a political earthquake," have been relayed by social networks and instant messaging applications.

The Ministry intends to open an investigation to elucidate the source and reasons for these false information and to take the appropriate legal consequences.
