Legal Action Taken Against Beauty Salon in Marrakech
In a significant development regarding a case that has captured public attention in Marrakech, the public prosecutor's office announced on Saturday the decision to imprison the owner of a local beauty salon. This action comes alongside an immediate order to close the establishment, following evidence of the owner's involvement in illegal medical practices and the use of dubious materials. This decision is a direct outcome of the investigations led by the judicial police at the Bab Doukkala precinct, which began with the dismantling of a network run by a foreign woman and her husband, both of whom impersonated cosmetic doctors.
The inquiry revealed that the network's reach extended to several beauty salons within the city, with the implicated salon identified as one violating its granted licenses by conducting injection procedures and other intricate medical practices without any legal backing. Investigations further uncovered that the salon was utilizing questionable medical supplies sourced through the dismantled network, which were injected into clients in conditions lacking essential health and sterilization standards. This poses an immediate risk to the physical safety of clients.
With this latest decision, the count of individuals imprisoned in connection with this case, which has unveiled 'underground clinics' between Marrakech and Casablanca, has increased. The royal gendarmerie continues its efforts to identify all establishments that may have benefited from the services of this network or promoted its prohibited materials, aiming to put an end to the dangers associated with impersonating medical professionals in the beauty industry.
