Morocco’s General Directorate of National Security on Tuesday denied reports circulating on social media claiming that a stadium worker died following a criminal assault during the Africa Cup of Nations final at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex in Rabat, state run agency MAP reported.
In a statement, the police authority said it had recorded “no death” involving private security staff or ball attendants assigned to the stadium during or after the final, rejecting what it described as false and misleading information shared online.
The statement added that security services had not carried out any procedures related to the discovery of a body or a death linked to sporting-related unrest, stressing that these claims were verified as unfounded after checks with relevant health institutions.
The General Directorate of National Security said it had referred the content of the misleading posts to the competent judicial authorities and requested instructions to open investigations to identify those responsible for its spread.
