The president of Olympique de Safi (OCS), Mohammed El Haidaoui, and radio host Adil El Omari have been prosecuted in connection with the sale of World Cup tickets on the black market.

The BNPJ’s investigations revealed that El Haidaoui had been selling tickets for matches of the Moroccan national team, during the World Cup Qatar 2022, in exchange for money.

El Omari is suspected of participating in the sale of these tickets.

The two suspects have been placed in pre-trial detention and provisional release, respectively.

The RNI Political Bureau has referred El Haidaoui to a disciplinary committee.

The audio recording that went viral on social media allegedly captures El Haidaoui negotiating the price of two tickets for the Morocco-France match in the semi-finals of the World Cup against 12,000 Dhs.

The recording also names the former president of Raja, member of the RNI, secretary of the House of Representatives and member of the FRMF Bureau, Mohamed Boudrika.

In summary, the two suspects are accused of fraud and participation in fraud.

The investigation is ongoing and it is possible that more people will be charged.
