Yesterday, Monday, November 25, the criminal chamber of first instance of the Court of Appeal of Al Hoceima pronounced a five-year prison sentence against a person accused of having organized illegal immigration, in addition to financial fines and confiscation of property.
The court found the accused guilty of the charges and sentenced him to five years in prison, in addition to a fine of 20,000 dirhams, and to pay legal costs. The court also obliged the accused to pay another fine of 34,950 dirhams to the Customs and Excise Administration, and to confiscate the inflatable boat he used in the illegal immigration operation for the benefit of the same administration.
This conviction comes in the context of proceedings initiated by the public prosecutor against the accused for “the organization and facilitation of the illegal and habitual exit of Moroccan people from the national territory, as well as the illegal detention of a motor boat”.
