Authorities in Agadir arrested seven individuals today, Thursday, including two students, two private school teachers, and two university students. They are suspected of being involved in a scheme to facilitate cheating on baccalaureate exams.

The arrests were made by the Agadir judicial police, working closely with the Directorate General of Territorial Surveillance. National security services initially caught two baccalaureate exam candidates cheating at an Agadir exam center. The students were using tiny wireless electronic devices connected to communication networks.

A simultaneous police operation at a residential apartment in Agadir led to the arrest of the two private school teachers and two university students. These individuals are suspected of providing answers to the arrested candidates through the seized electronic devices in exchange for money.

During searches related to the case, authorities confiscated mobile phones, a computer, cash, and money transfer receipts. These items are believed to be proceeds from the alleged criminal activity.

The arrested suspects are being held in police custody. The two student candidates are also part of the ongoing judicial investigation, which is being supervised by the public prosecutor’s office. The investigation aims to uncover all circumstances of the case and identify all criminal acts attributed to those involved.

This operation is part of the ongoing efforts by the Directorate General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance to protect national exams from all forms of cheating, ensure their integrity, and promote fairness and equal opportunity among candidates.
