Under instructions from the public prosecutor at the Tangier Court of Appeal, the royal gendarmerie detained an anesthesiologist in connection with a child pornography case.
He was interrogated and subsequently referred to the public prosecutor, who decided on Friday to prosecute him while in custody and place him in the Ain Dalia local prison in the Kambouria area near Tangier.
During the investigation, the gendarmerie accompanied the doctor to his home in downtown Tangier, where they discovered several electronic devices suspected of being used to collect inappropriate videos involving children. Some of these items were seized for technical analysis.
The public prosecutor has charged the doctor under Article 2-503 of the Penal Code, which penalizes anyone who incites, encourages, or facilitates the exploitation of children under eighteen in pornographic materials. Offenders face imprisonment of one to five years and fines ranging from 10,000 to one million dirhams. This includes displaying sexual activities by any means, whether through actual acts, simulation, viewing, or depicting children’s sexual organs for sexual purposes.
