Casablanca policemen on Tuesday arrested a physician and a pharmacy assistant for allegedly issuing counterfeit medical prescriptions and contributing to the illegal trafficking of narcotics and psychotropics.
Casablanca’s security services had previously detained four individuals involved in the trafficking of psychotropic substances. Subsequent investigations revealed a scheme where the suspects obtained false medical prescriptions, which they utilized to procure psychotropic tablets. These drugs were then resold for non-medical purposes, reportedly with the complicity of a doctor and a pharmacy employee, according to information from a reliable security source.
The implicated doctor, operating in a private practice, was allegedly supplying the other suspects with fake prescriptions. Furthermore, he directed them to a pharmacy employee to facilitate the acquisition of psychotropic substances, as detailed by the same source.
Police raids, conducted by the judicial police, resulted in the confiscation of a total of 400 counterfeit prescriptions. These prescriptions covered various types of medical psychotropic substances, all bearing the signature and stamp of the suspected doctor.
The doctor and the pharmacy employee are currently in police custody as part of an ongoing investigation to uncover the intricacies of this case, shed light on the details of the alleged criminal activities, and identify and apprehend all individuals involved in the illicit drug trade.
