HIBAPRESS – Mohamed Al Harwali
As part of the regional continuous training program for judges in the judicial district of the Marrakech Court of Appeal for the year 2026, the Marrakech Court of Appeal organized, on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, a training session on the topic: "A reading on modern methods and techniques in proving money laundering crimes."
This initiative comes within the framework of the training dynamic supervised by the presidency of the Marrakech Court of Appeal, led by Al-Mustafa Ait Al-Haloui, the First President of the Court, which aims to enhance the sustainable training of judges, develop their scientific and practical skills, in line with the rapid changes in the field of financial crimes, and contribute to improving the quality of judicial performance.
Professor Mohamed Al-Amin Al-Jabri, the First Deputy of the First President and in charge of training, played a pivotal role in framing this session, where he stressed in his opening speech that the subject of proving money laundering crimes is of utmost importance in light of the developments brought about by Law No. 03.23, which reorganized the mechanisms for initiating public prosecution and strengthened the means of proof in public money crimes.
For his part, Professor Othman Nafawi, advisor at the Marrakech Court of Appeal, presented an in-depth scientific presentation through which he addressed the legal and practical framework for modern techniques in proving money laundering crimes, highlighting the most important developments approved by the new law, especially with regard to restricting the initiation of public prosecution, and adopting regulatory reports as a basic means of proof, in addition to approving parallel financial investigation, and strengthening seizure and confiscation mechanisms.
The presentation also addressed the practical problems posed by these provisions, especially with regard to proving the relationship between the original crime and the crime of money laundering, as well as the challenges associated with activating institutional roles in this field, in light of the restriction of the establishment of associations as a civil party.
This session provided an opportunity for a rich judicial discussion among the judges, during which experiences were exchanged, and practical cases were discussed, in order to enhance the unification of judicial jurisprudence and improve the quality of judicial rulings in financial crimes.
Organizing this training session confirms the commitment of the Marrakech Court of Appeal to establishing a culture of continuous training, as a basic lever for modernizing the justice system, enhancing judicial efficiency, and protecting public money.
