The Public Prosecutor at the Court of First Instance in Marrakech ordered on Thursday, January 8, 2026, the detention of a person under custody who had impersonated the Public Prosecutor and requested from a litigant to provide him with 5,000 dirhams in order to cancel a search warrant against him.
In accordance with the instructions of the Public Prosecution, a trap was set and the complainant was apprehended after receiving the money near the court.
After a search of his residence, it was revealed that it contained an office with a collection of stamps and files that were seized for use in the investigation. The search also resulted in the seizure of significant sums of money estimated at 5 million dirhams.
