Real Estate: Dozens of Moroccans Residing Abroad Scammed in Marrakech

The "Caprice Immobilier" real estate project, located in the ochre city, is the target of more than twenty complaints for fraud and premeditated fraud. According to the testimonies collected by Al3omk, the victims paid significant sums of money based on reservation contracts presented as regular by the legal director of the company, before being surprised by the total halt of the construction site.

A resident in France revealed that the fourth and fifth floors of the building do not have layout plans or building permits. These lots would nevertheless have been sold as early as 2019. "The project has no legal authorization," stresses the plaintiff, specifying that this crucial information had been concealed at the time of signing the reservation contracts.

The dialogue with the project manager is now at a standstill. The plaintiffs denounce a "humiliating" treatment and deplore the lack of official explanations from the management. The victims find themselves facing simple employees in the sales offices, without ever being able to obtain concrete solutions, which increases their sense of frustration. The victims denounce systematic judicial postponements.

The discontent of Moroccans residing abroad is exacerbated by a series of incessant postponements of hearings. Between the presentation of medical certificates and conciliation attempts organized without official notification, the plaintiffs denounce a denial of their rights. Last February, another presentation hearing was suddenly postponed without their defense being informed in advance.

This crisis goes beyond the financial framework to become a deep social drama. Forced to multiply costly trips between France and Morocco to attend the hearings, the victims suffer considerable psychological and professional pressure. The file has been forwarded to the King’s Prosecutor at the Court of First Instance in Marrakech, but no amicable solution has been proposed.

The impact of the case now extends to the family environment of dozens of households. The victims are now demanding the opening of an urgent investigation into the fate of their complaints and the immediate restitution of their financial rights. For these families, the continuation of legal deadlines only multiplies their suffering and transforms this real estate dispute into a major human crisis.
