The El Jadida Court of Appeal sentenced an Indrive driver and his accomplice to 15 years in prison each and fined them a total of MAD100,000 for attempted sexual assault, aggravated theft, abduction with a motor vehicle, torture and assault with a weapon.
The case dates back to April, when two university students boarded a car ordered through the Indrive app. The driver diverted the vehicle to a forest after his knife-wielding accomplice joined them. The pair attempted to rape the students by force and stole their phones before fleeing.
Gendarmerie forces were alerted but the suspects escaped. Their identities were later confirmed through surveillance footage, leading to their arrest. The court ordered both men to pay MAD50,000 to each of the victims.
