Morocco: TikToker "Moulinex" imprisoned in Tangier, faces 30 years in prison

The TikToker known by the pseudonym "Moulinex" was placed in detention at the Tangier 2 prison this Sunday evening. The investigating judge at the Tangier Court of Appeal ordered his immediate incarceration at the end of his police custody, as part of an investigation into major criminal acts.

The influencer had been arrested at Marrakech airport following a wanted notice issued by the Tangier police prefecture. Presented by the judicial police before the Attorney General of the King, and then before the investigating judge, he is now awaiting the start of the detailed investigation hearings. This arrest comes in the wake of the case concerning the TikToker "Adam" and his mother, who were also placed in detention, with whom the name "Moulinex" has been linked by the investigators.

Accusations punishable by 30 years in prison

The charges brought by the prosecution are particularly serious. The suspect is being prosecuted for a series of serious offenses including human trafficking, cross-border sexual exploitation, prostitution, and possession of pornographic material. The accusation also includes the dissemination of harmful content to children, incitement to corruption, as well as defamation and public indecency. In accordance with the legal provisions in force, these crimes can result in sentences of up to 30 years in prison.
