The Marrakech Court of First Instance convicted the regional director of resources, identified as “H.R., to six months in prison for charges of “bribery and cocaine use.” His accomplice, “A.M.,” received an eight-month suspended prison sentence for similar charges.
The judicial police arrested these individuals during the second week of September last year while they were caught in possession of a quantity of cocaine.
They were both referred to the prosecution at the same court, where they faced various charges.
The first defendant was charged with offenses including drug possession and consumption, bribery, unjustified drug possession, and abuse of authority.
The second defendant faced charges of drug possession and consumption, unjustified drug possession, facilitating drug use for others without compensation, and bribery.
Sources disclosed that the second defendant is a contractor in the Settat region who benefited from the first defendant’s interventions to facilitate the payment of his financial dues from contracts with the regional council.
