 King Mohammed VI has appointed Hicham El Bellaoui as Public Prosecutor at the Court of Cassation and head of the Public Prosecution Office, succeeding Hassan Daki, who stepped down for health reasons, according to a statement from the Royal Cabinet.

The monarch made the appointment on Monday, May 12, 2025, in his capacity as President of the Supreme Council of the Judiciary. The statement noted that Mr. Daki had fulfilled his duties “with integrity and impartiality,” and had worked to strengthen “the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law.”

El Bellaoui now assumes one of the most senior roles in Morocco’s judicial system, overseeing the country’s prosecutorial authority at the highest level.
