According to Algerian journalist Abdou Semmar, Head of Algeria Part outlet, renowned Rai singer Cheb Khaled, who also holds Moroccan nationality, is reportedly involved in a spying case for Morocco.
This case is currently under investigation by the Algerian judiciary and has been transferred from the military court in Blida to the Bir Mourad Raïs court in Algiers.
The charges against the 64-year-old singer include serious allegations of espionage. Algerian authorities claim he collaborated with the Bennacer brothers, Toufik and Boualem, sons of the late General Larbi Bennacer, who currently live in exile and pose a threat to the Algerian regime with their revelations.
In a surprising turn of events, Cheb Khaled is now at the center of these accusations. He is alleged to have transmitted classified “defense secret” information to Moroccan authorities. The Algerian government has long viewed Khaled with suspicion due to his strong ties with Morocco and his affection for the Moroccan people. He has often been labeled as an “undesirable” in his own country because of this closeness.
This situation escalated following a raid in Algiers, where investigators from the Central Army Security Directorate (DCSA) reportedly discovered photographs and documents at the home of Colonel Boualem Bennacer.
Currently residing in Luxembourg, Cheb Khaled is now being sought by the Algerian judiciary, which aims to interrogate and potentially charge him in this unprecedented case that seems almost cinematic in nature. Algerian authorities appear to be struggling to devise new narratives in their ongoing tensions with expatriate nationals.
