The public prosecutor at the Casablanca Court of First Instance has categorically denied recent online videos alleging fabricated circumstances surrounding the death of Hicham Mandari, calling the claims “entirely baseless.”
In a statement released Monday, July 28, the prosecutor clarified that the circulated recordings, attributed to a news site and allegedly revealing sensitive details about Mandari’s death, were false and had been used as part of a judicial inquiry.
The deceased’s brother, identified as the source of these claims, was prosecuted after impersonating a former security agent and fabricating details using prepaid SIM cards.
The videos included several inaccuracies, including the false announcement of Mandari’s mother’s death, who is still alive. The accused was tried and sentenced on July 14, 2025, to five years in prison and fined 50,000 dirhams.
The prosecution emphasized the seriousness of the offense, deeming the acts criminally punishable under Moroccan law.
