One of the insurance agencies in the town of Nador was the victim of a theft described as major, perpetrated by an employee working within the agency, taking advantage of the absence of the owner of the agency, who suffered a long operation.
Recordings from surveillance cameras installed inside the agency’s headquarters showed that the employee deliberately stole money at separate intervals. The stolen amounts were used to rent luxury cars on an ongoing basis and to purchase a Mercedes C-Class, in addition to spending them on luxury restaurants in the East and frequent visits to salons.
Available information also reveals that the accused provided a sum of money estimated at 10 million centimes to a secret immigration intermediary, with the aim of moving her to Spain, but her plan failed after the intermediary was arrested by security authorities.
Sources close to the agency’s owner indicated that the initial inventory of stolen funds amounted to approximately 30 million cents. Subsequently, the victim filed a complaint with the competent authorities. After being questioned, the accused confessed in the official documents to having committed the theft and the victim recovered a sum of 11 million cents in two installments. However, the accused later claimed that she did not remember the total amount she had stolen.
In an attempt to evade responsibility, the defendant filed a counter-complaint accusing the agency owner of sexual harassment. However, when confronted by the prosecution, she denied that he had engaged in any behavior that could be construed as harassment, which exposed the falsity of her allegations.
Despite the seriousness of the actions committed by the employee and the damage caused to the project, the victim was surprised by the decision to pursue her on bail. The case was also adapted as a “betrayal of trust” instead of “a worker stealing from his employer”, which increased the suffering of the agency owner, who is currently at risk of bankruptcy and loss of income. 30% of its turnover.
This incident raises major questions about the application of justice and the protection of operators’ rights in such sensitive cases.
