Marrakech Police Officer Suspended Amidst Sexual Assault Allegations
On the evening of September 28, 2026, the judicial police department in Marrakech initiated an investigation under the supervision of the appropriate public prosecutor. This action was prompted by a complaint alleging sexual assault, with a police officer of the rank of sergeant suspected of involvement in the incident. Initial investigations led to the identification and arrest of the officer after a woman reported that she was assaulted by an individual who claimed to be a police officer while she was with another person.
The detained officer has been placed under provisional custody as ordered by the public prosecutor, allowing for thorough questioning regarding the circumstances of the case. This step is crucial for uncovering all pertinent details related to the allegations. Concurrently, the General Directorate of National Security has decided to suspend the officer from duty until the judicial investigation concludes and responsibilities are definitively determined. This administrative action adheres to the regulations stipulated in the statutory framework governing national security personnel, ensuring that appropriate measures will be taken in accordance with the law once the investigation's findings are available.
