HIBAPRESS – Fikri Ouldali
The criminal chamber of the Court of First Instance in Al Hoceima sentenced a person on charges of deliberately refusing to pay alimony on time, based on a complaint filed by his ex-wife.
The court ruled to convict the accused and sentence him to four months suspended imprisonment, in addition to an enforceable fine of 200 dirhams.
According to the file data, the person in question refused to pay the alimony due to his ex-wife, which prompted the latter to resort to the judiciary and file a complaint on the matter. This resulted in his arrest and placement under custody measures before being presented to the competent Public Prosecution.
In the same context, the Public Prosecution decided to prosecute the accused on bail after paying the bail amount, with the charge of refusing to pay alimony, pending the final decision on the case.
At the civil level, the court ordered the person concerned to pay compensation in favor of the complaining party amounting to 2000 dirhams, with the cost borne without compulsion, with the return of the bail amount after deducting the fine and expenses.
