A woman posing as a lawyer was arrested Friday in Tinghir, for allegedly defrauding multiple victims. She was apprehended alongside her accomplice, a middleman who facilitated her scams.
The woman, whose identity has not been released, is accused of impersonating a lawyer and legal consultant, exploiting people seeking legal assistance. She allegedly convinced victims that she could resolve their court cases, often charging fees for services she never delivered.
The case came to light when the woman was caught red-handed at the Tinghir courthouse, attempting to solicit money from an individual she claimed to represent. This prompted an investigation by the local police, who uncovered a network of scams targeting vulnerable individuals.
The investigation revealed that the woman had been operating under various aliases, including lawyer, legal expert, and legal consultant. She preyed on citizens seeking legal representation, leveraging their trust and desperation to resolve their cases.
The woman and her accomplice were arrested and charged with fraud and impersonation. They were remanded to a local prison in Ouarzazate, awaiting further legal proceedings.
