HIBAPRESS – Casablanca
Security services in the Ain Sebaa Hay Mohammadi district of Casablanca have arrested a person who was impersonating a security informant, after being involved in acts of fraud, by deceiving a number of drug dealers with his ability to intervene and mediate with security forces in exchange for large sums of money.
According to preliminary data, the suspect exploited the trust of some drug dealers, presenting himself as an influential mediator within the security services, where he was receiving repeated sums of money under the pretext of "protection" or "intervention" to avoid security follow-ups.
The research and investigations initiated by the security services enabled the monitoring of the movements of the person in question and the documentation of his criminal style, leading to his arrest and placement under custody, by order of the competent Public Prosecution, pending further investigation to ascertain all the circumstances and details of this case.
This operation comes within the framework of the continuous efforts exerted by the General Directorate of National Security to combat all forms of impersonation, fraud, and deception, and to address all practices that affect the citizens' trust in security institutions.
The ongoing investigations are expected to reveal additional data, especially regarding the size of the financial amounts obtained, as well as identifying all the parties that dealt with the suspect.
