Wealthy Moroccans Offered Costly Schemes to Dodge Military Service

It is the daily newspaper Assabah that addresses the subject. According to the newspaper, "intermediaries carefully target the sons of the wealthy and notables in the big cities and the rural world to offer them immigration formulas in Turkey".

"Considering the packs that are offered, the costs vary between 25,000 and 50,000 dirhams per person," says Aasabah, who adds that the network "would have got hold of the list of people concerned and contact their parents and guardians by offering them these immigration services to Turkey, due to the absence of a visa to enter this country".

Having heard of these maneuvers, the day after the launch of the census operation of people eligible for military service for the year 2019, the Minister of the Interior, Abdelouafi Laftit, had spoken up. the minister had indeed clearly stated that "the temporary or permanent exemption to be granted to these young people who would like to do without military service falls within the prerogatives of commissions composed of representatives of ministries, as well as of specialists". In other words, the perpetrators who engage in these operations likely to tarnish the process will have to answer to justice.
