The 1st police district in Rabat had received a complaint from a vehicle driver accusing the two police officers. They would have demanded a certain sum of money before carrying out a task that is nevertheless part of their function, indicates the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) in a press release. An investigation was therefore opened and made it possible to have elements leading to the arrest of the two police officers, in flagrant possession of part of the amount that could come from these criminal acts.

Not only have the two sergeants been placed in custody, but they have also been provisionally suspended by the DGSN. It is awaiting the end of the investigation conducted under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office before taking the appropriate administrative measures against these two agents.
