The allegations spread on social media according to which Mr. Chafik Omerani was kidnapped are “completely baseless”, said on Sunday the public prosecutor at the Criminal Court of First Instance of Casablanca.

The person concerned was wanted for his alleged involvement in criminal acts, by publishing a series of video tapes contemptuous of constitutional institutions, constituted bodies and public officials, the King’s Prosecutor underlined in a statement.

After being arrested on February 6, 2021, and being informed of his rights, he was placed on custody, the source said, adding that his family, in the person of his brother Mr. Mohamed Omerani, was informed of this procedure.

The investigation is underway under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office and in strict compliance with legal procedures, the Public Prosecutor pointed out.
