Trial Postponed for Alleged Fake Invoice Scheme
The criminal court in Fez has decided to postpone the trial concerning a network involved in the issuance of fraudulent invoices and the establishment of shell companies. This network is reportedly led by Abdelilah Baaziz, a prominent figure in the National Rally of Independents party and the president of the regional council of Taza. The next hearing is scheduled for May 8, 2026, allowing the defense team ample time to review the case files and prepare their arguments.
Last Thursday, the public prosecutor initiated proceedings against this network, which is accused of generating false invoices and creating fictitious companies. Alongside Baaziz, ten other individuals have been implicated, including his two brothers. Following their arraignment, the public prosecutor ordered their detention in the Burkaiz prison, located in the outskirts of Moulay Yacoub, deeming the case ready for trial.
Abdelilah Baaziz and his associates are facing serious criminal charges, including fraud, forgery of public documents, the creation of misleading certificates containing false information, and participating in tax evasion through the issuance of non-existent invoices. The case has attracted significant public attention due to the high-profile nature of the individuals involved and the serious allegations they face.
