International transport truck drivers have denounced the repeated attacks to which they are exposed on Moroccan roads, committed by members of gangs of delinquents and illegal immigrants.
In this context, Parliamentarian Idris Saur Al-Mansouri raised this issue in a written question addressed to the Minister of Equipment and Water, demanding the disclosure of the measures taken by the ministry to protect international truck drivers from these attacks .
The Istiqlal MP confirmed that the attackers deliberately planned and ambushed the transport trucks, attacking the drivers by beating and injuring them, causing great material losses to the trucks and goods.
A member of the Independence Team for Unity and Equality in the House of Representatives added that these attackers destroy the customs seals of trucks, which exposes transport companies to the imposition of financial fines of the part of the Customs and Indirect Tax Administration, in addition to forcing professionals to pay the financial compensation that weighs on them.
The parliamentarian also underlined that the Moroccan Association of Intercontinental Road Transport receives more and more complaints from professionals in the sector and international transport companies concerning drivers being the subject of various attacks.
