HIBAPRESS – Fez
The Minor Offenses Chamber at the Primary Court in Fez decided, on Friday morning, to postpone the consideration of the case in which the head of the Tazah Regional Council, Abdelilah Baaziz, is being prosecuted, along with a number of defendants, against the backdrop of suspicion of involvement in a network specializing in issuing fake invoices and establishing fictitious companies.
The court set a new date for resuming the trial sessions on May 22, due to the absence of the head of the judicial body in charge of considering the case, Counselor Abdel-Mujeeb Al-Wazzani. Eleven people are being prosecuted in this case, including the two brothers of the head of the Regional Council, after the elements of the Regional Judicial Police referred them to the Public Prosecution, after the completion of the investigations and inquiries carried out in the file. The Public Prosecutor at the Primary Court of Fez had decided to prosecute those concerned in a state of arrest, with their deposit in the local prison of Bourkays, after questioning them about what was attributed to them. According to the available data, the followers are facing charges related to fraud and forgery of customary and commercial documents, and the production of certificates containing incorrect data, in addition to participating in tax evasion through the use of fake invoices, as well as charges related to participation in issuing forged documents.
