The criminal court at the Marrakech Court of First Instance convicted three individuals of Moroccan descent, involved in money laundering, and sentenced them to prison terms.
The public prosecutor’s office charged the accused, who were in custody, with international drug trafficking, forgery of public documents, and possession and transport of goods subject to customs duties and taxes.
The court sentenced the leader of the network to eight years in prison, while the other two received four years each.
The details of the case date back to the end of January, when an altercation involving more than twelve people took place in a high-end area of the city, causing panic among the surrounding public.
Following intelligence received by the regional judicial police and the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance in Marrakech, an investigation was launched to explore the background and reasons behind this violent confrontation, with a focus on the possibility of a criminal dispute with international ties.
Security investigations, which included reviewing surveillance footage from both inside the area and surrounding neighborhoods, led to the arrest of three individuals in the Agdal tourist district.
Authorities also seized six luxury cars and a large motorcycle.
