Oujda Angad Airport’s police staff arrested an individual involved in falsifying a PCR test in order to travel.

Hespress sources indicated that the suspect was arrested at Oujda airport while giving a negative PCR test.

“The suspect was kept under the judicial investigation that is taking place under the supervision of the competent Public Prosecution, to reveal all the circumstances, and backgrounds of this case, as well as those involved in these criminal acts,” the source added.

The Ministry of Interior confirmed the spread of forged COVID-19 related documents during a meeting in its headquarters in Rabat.

An increase in cases of falsifications was noticed for both PCR certificates and vaccine passes.

The Ministry said persons responsible for these acts could face criminal prosecution for “threatening citizen’s health and life, even compromising the national vaccination campaign which is progressing satisfactorily.”

An illicit economy for medicines had been prospering globally, with a wide range of illegal products traded on the black market, even some PCR tests were sold online on social media, including Instagram and Facebook.
