Moroccan authorities announced this Wednesday night, that the man seen beating a female shop attendant in surveillance camera footage has been arrested.
According to a statement from the General Directorate of General Security (DGSN), “authorities reacted swiftly after the video’s release, and identified the perpetrator as a 23-year-old man from Berrechid with a criminal record.”
“The culprit has been arrested, and a criminal investigation has been launched against him, while he is to remain in preemptive detention,” said DGSN.
The victim, Loubna, shared the video of her attack on her Instagram page, after the culprit had been released on bail, asking for justice to serve.
The video made headlines and took over social media, where Loubna received ample support for her cause. The graphic footage she shared shocked Moroccans, and prompted a large-scale solidarity campaign.
