The first instance criminal chamber for financial crime at the Fez Court of Appeal saw a session last night to examine a case linked to financial and administrative imbalances in the regional education department in Nador.
A number of officials, employees and entrepreneurs participated in this case because they have been accused of having violated the laws regulating public agreements.
The court sentenced the imprisonment in force against the main defendants, because it ruled three years in prison for the chief of the building, equipment and property authority and one of the entrepreneurs, while in them forcing to pay a fine of 40,000 dirhams each.
Decisions also included other employees, including technology in the direction, with sanctions of one and a half in prison, in addition to various financial fines.
In the context of civil compensation, the court decided to oblige some of the accused to pay an amount of 500,000 dirhams in favor of the Regional Academy of Education and Training in the East, while two other defendants will bring the same solidarity amount between them.
These provisions arise in the context of efforts to combat financial and administrative corruption in public institutions.
The accusations against the persons concerned by the case included strong accusations, in particular the diversion and waste of public funds, corruption, collusion in the embezzlement, as well as the forging and the use of administrative documents.
This question aroused generalized controversy due to the size of the imbalances that have been revealed and the surveys that affected a certain number of officials.
This decision comes within the framework of a series of cases initiated by the Court of Appeal of Fez, which aims to fight against corruption in the management of public money, because the judicial authorities confirm their intention to impose the ‘TIME OF RIGHT and to hold people involved in any financial finance or administrative violations.
