Law enforcement officers in Khenifra arrested two men, aged 43 and 46, on Sunday for allegedly disseminating false information online that could incite public concern. One of the suspects has a prior criminal record.
According to security sources cited by Hespress AR, the National Security’s cyber-surveillance unit detected social media posts claiming that a schoolgirl had been fatally assaulted and her body abandoned on the outskirts of Khenifra. However, subsequent investigations confirmed that the claim was entirely false, with no such incident recorded.
Further inquiries led authorities to identify and locate the two suspects responsible for spreading the fake news. They were apprehended on Sunday in Khenifra.
One of the suspects has been placed in police custody pending further legal action, while the second remains under judicial investigation supervised by the competent public prosecutor. Authorities continue to examine the motives and circumstances behind the dissemination of this false report.
