Casablanca Airport: Over 600 Phones Go Missing
The trial over the theft of hundreds of mobile phones at Mohammed V Airport opened Tuesday in Casablanca. The main defendant claims innocence, despite suspicious financial movements and damning video evidence.
Before the criminal court of first instance of the court of appeal, the main defendant, "Mohamed M.," firmly denied the charges of embezzlement of public funds and receiving stolen goods. This human resources manager at Royal Air Maroc claims that his administrative duties do not allow him to intervene in the control or unloading of merchandise.

The debate intensified around a suspicious payment of 50,000 dirhams, received on the day of his daughter’s engagement. The defendant claims to have borrowed this sum from an employee, which surprised the court president, who questioned why a subordinate would lend money to his superior, according to Al3omk. This same employee actually identified Mohamed M. as the mastermind of the operation, an accusation that the latter rejects by describing his detractor as a person "of weak character and unbalanced."
The case concerns the disappearance of over 600 mobile phones from the United Arab Emirates originally destined for Senegal. During the hearing, the court displayed surveillance footage captured in the export zone. These sequences reveal suspicious maneuvers: several employees hide among the merchandise for more than twenty minutes before collectively examining the boxes.

The judicial police reports rely on the analysis of more than 44 video recordings tracing the cargo’s journey. Faced with this material evidence, the court now seeks to understand the logic of this operation, particularly questioning why the suspects stored boxes of phones inside cold storage rooms.
