A former ambassador is currently appearing before a Moroccan court for his alleged involvement in human trafficking.

Hespress AR sources learned that the investigating judge of the Rabat Court of Appeal heard the former diplomat, who is accused of human trafficking and rape of minors.

The 86 year-old is also accused of taking photographes of the minor victims he sexually assaulted inside his residence, and is currently being trialled while on bail.

The Public Prosecution decided to withdraw the former ambassador’s passport to prevent him from fleeing justice and leaving Moroccan soil.

The prosecution additionally confiscated the suspect’s mobile phones, now evidence in the case.

The shocking revelations however, seem to have an even more surprising genesis.

The former diplomat had filed a police complaint after one of his phones was “lost in mysterious circumstances,“ and he located the device in a Rabat tech store.

Police questioned the store owner about how he was able to get his hands on the device, and traced it back to a minore female, who after questioning from police admitted to stealing the mobile with the help of her friends.

According to the minor, the former diplomat had been sexually exploiting her and her friends at his personal Soussi residence, in exchange for payment.

After finding out that the 86 year old man had been secretly filming them “while performing sexual acts,“ the young girls decided to steal the phone to protect their identities.

In a last turning point in the shocking story, the same Hespress AR source, the ex-diplomat’s wife has reportedly admitted to authorities that she was aware of her husband’s perverted practices, while being questioned.
