Authorities Crack Down on Fraudulent Mediation Services in Marrakech
In a significant operation conducted on the evening of Thursday, October 9, 2026, law enforcement officials from the Judicial Police Department in Marrakech apprehended two individuals, a 38-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman, on suspicions of their involvement in fraudulent activities and mediation related to ongoing legal cases. This investigation was prompted by police observations of advertisements on a social media platform promoting paid mediation services for individuals facing charges linked to reckless driving and endangering public safety. The police's field investigations led to the identification and arrest of the primary suspect in Marrakech. Furthermore, continuous inquiries resulted in the detention of his alleged accomplice, who was found in possession of documents and a driver's license registered in someone else's name.
The suspects have been placed under judicial custody, awaiting further investigation by the relevant public prosecutor's office to clarify all circumstances surrounding the incident and to establish the criminal responsibilities attributed to each individual involved.
