Source denies reports of court ruling against Morocco’s new Housing Minister

A Hespress AR source close to Fatima Saadi, Morocco’s minister delegate in charge of housing and urban policy, has denied reports circulating on social media and in some media outlets that a court ruling had been issued against her in connection with a case dating back nearly a decade.

The source described the reports as “completely unfounded,” denying claims that Saadi had been prosecuted or convicted of illegally occupying another person’s property.

According to the source, the allegations distort the facts of an old case and remove them from their original context.

The case dates back to Saadi’s tenure as president of the municipal council of Al Hoceima, when the events in question were linked to measures to clear public property and enforce applicable legal provisions as part of her municipal duties and responsibilities, the source said.

The source stressed that Saadi had not been convicted in the case and said she holds a final court ruling acquitting her of the allegations, with the complainant ordered to pay the legal costs.

The renewed circulation of the case, years after it was concluded in court, has been accompanied by information the source described as “false and misleading.”

The source called for accuracy in reporting the matter and urged media outlets to distinguish between circulating allegations and the case’s final judicial outcome.
