Continuous Training for Judges in Marrakech
On May 6, 2026, the Marrakech Court of Appeal hosted a significant training session focused on the contemporary methods and techniques for proving money laundering crimes. This initiative is part of the ongoing regional training program for judges within the jurisdiction of the Marrakech Court of Appeal, which is spearheaded by the court's esteemed president, Mr. Mustafa Ait Haloui. The program's primary objective is to bolster the judges' continuous education and refine their scientific and practical skills, keeping pace with the rapid transformations in the realm of financial crimes and enhancing the quality of judicial performance.
Importance of Modern Legal Techniques
Professor Mohamed Amin Jabri, the first deputy president and training officer, played a pivotal role in facilitating this training session. In his opening remarks, he emphasized the critical significance of understanding the proof of money laundering crimes in light of the recent developments introduced by Law No. 03.23. This law has restructured the mechanisms for initiating public prosecution and has strengthened the evidentiary means concerning public financial crimes.
Additionally, Professor Othman Nfaoui, a counselor at the Marrakech Court of Appeal, delivered an in-depth scientific presentation that explored the legal and practical frameworks of modern techniques in proving money laundering offenses. He highlighted the new regulations established by the updated law, particularly regarding the constraints on initiating public prosecution and the adoption of supervisory reports as essential means of evidence. Furthermore, he addressed the introduction of parallel financial investigations and the reinforcement of asset seizure and confiscation mechanisms.
The presentation also tackled various practical challenges posed by these provisions, especially concerning the evidence linking the original crime to money laundering activities. It discussed the institutional roles in this domain, particularly under the constraints of civil associations' involvement.
This training session provided a rich platform for judicial dialogue among the judges, facilitating the exchange of experiences and practical case discussions. Such interactions are integral in standardizing judicial interpretations and enhancing the quality of rulings in financial crime cases.
The organization of this training underscores the Marrakech Court of Appeal's commitment to fostering a culture of continuous education, regarded as a crucial driver for modernizing the justice system, improving judicial efficiency, and protecting public funds.
