BNPJ Investigation Initiated Amidst Serious Allegations
On September 14, 2026, the Casablanca Court of Appeal's prosecutor instructed the National Judicial Police Brigade (BNPJ) to initiate an investigation following serious allegations made by Mohamed Ouzzine, the Secretary General of the Popular Movement (MP), during a party meeting in Berrechid on September 13. Ouzzine claimed that his party was being specifically targeted, stating, "More than swords to attack our positions, Haraka is under siege by other methods. They are tapping our phones, undermining our honor and families because they cannot confront us directly." While he did not name specific individuals or groups responsible for these actions, his remarks were enough to prompt legal action.
The prosecutor's office released a statement on September 14, emphasizing that it was acting within its legal authority to ensure proper law enforcement and the integrity of the electoral process. The statement confirmed that the investigation assigned to the BNPJ aims to ascertain the truth behind Ouzzine's claims and pursue any necessary legal actions.
As the investigation unfolds, it raises questions about electoral integrity and the lengths to which political entities might go to secure their interests. The allegations, if substantiated, could have significant implications for the political landscape in Morocco, especially as the nation approaches the upcoming elections.
