Today, Thursday, the criminal chamber of first instance responsible for financial crimes at the Court of Appeal of Casablanca decided to postpone the trial of the former minister and head of the Juriste Bensalah group, Mohamed Mbdia, and his co-defendants.

The court set January 9 as the date for the next hearing of the case.

The postponement decision follows a defense request from the Moroccan Organization for the Protection of Public Funds, which requested additional time to prepare civil proceedings.

Muhammad Mubadia faces charges related to “waste of public funds, influence peddling, corruption and falsification of customary, commercial and official documents”. The case is linked to the suspicious transfer of large sums of money to his personal account by representatives of companies who obtained transactions outside the framework of the law.
