Recent investigations have revealed alarming details surrounding a suspended Deputy Prosecutor linked to serious allegations. The inquiries, conducted by judicial authorities, have brought to light the extent of his illicit activities, particularly in livestock trade, which is incongruous with his role within the public prosecution service. According to documents acquired by goud.ma, the accused was found to have engaged in trading livestock, raising further questions about his integrity and professional conduct.
During the preliminary investigation, the claimant asserted that the former judicial official had previously taken sheep from him, failing to settle the payment. Later, the accused returned additional sheep, asking the claimant to sell them for 4,000 dirhams. This exchange clearly indicates that the former Deputy Prosecutor was involved in livestock trading, a clear violation of his professional obligations. Further investigations confirmed that he had indeed requested the sale of two sheep from the claimant, reinforcing the notion that he was operating a livestock trade despite the ethical constraints of his position.
The judicial oversight of the former official, led by Judge Abdellah Chentouf, has resulted in serious charges, including bribery, abuse of power, provision of harmful substances, sexual harassment, fraud, and complicity in the dissemination of false claims aimed at defamation. Moreover, the investigation revealed that the suspended Deputy Prosecutor, prohibited from leaving the country, was behind malicious messages directed at judicial figures, partaking in a smear campaign to undermine their reputations and mental well-being with unfounded allegations.
Judge Chentouf confronted the accused with forensic evidence regarding the handwritten messages that he had authored against other judicial officers. Despite attempts to deny the allegations, the Judge pressed him on inconsistencies between his statements and previous admissions made to the Prosecutor in Fes. The accused also faced claims from a complainant regarding attempts to harass his wife during an arrest related to a case involving a bounced check, which the accused purportedly entangled him in—an assertion the accused denied, although the complainant's wife corroborated the events.
The complainant detailed numerous violations attributed to the judicial official, including a request for car purchase to influence a case involving his brother related to drug trafficking during the period they managed their hotel in Fes. Initially, the complainant sought the Deputy Prosecutor's assistance, offering 40,000 dirhams for help. However, the accused later shifted the request to purchasing a Volkswagen vehicle worth 260,000 dirhams aimed at facilitating intervention on behalf of the complainant's brother.
This case erupted following a complaint from an investor to the Prosecutor in Fes, who alleged that he had fallen victim to illegal practices attributed to the accused judicial official. The investor reported being subjected to exploitation of influence, extortion, bribery, and fraud, with the accused creating fictitious cases to implicate him, leveraging his position as a hotel and business owner in Fes. The victim maintained that the suspended Deputy Prosecutor routinely solicited monetary sums for dismissals and assured him of the closure of cases to avoid prosecution, exploiting the trust the investor had placed in him by repeatedly fulfilling his financial demands and providing various services.
