The Court of Appeals specializing in financial crimes resumed on Wednesday, November 20, the trial of a network involved in infant trafficking in the city of Fes. This case, which has captivated national public attention for months, involves doctors, nurses, and private security guards from various hospitals in Fes. They face serious charges related to human trafficking and abuse of power in illegal activities.
After the fourth session of the trial, Judge Mohamed Ben Maacho decided to adjourn the case until December 11 for further arguments. Earlier in June, the Court of First Instance had issued sentences ranging from three years of imprisonment to acquittals for some of the accused, following the dismantling of the network by the regional police force based on information from the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance.
The network was involved in trafficking newborn infants and manipulating access to public healthcare services.
The accused face a range of charges, including forging medical certificates, participating in embezzling public funds, and extortion. Investigations revealed that these healthcare workers exploited their positions for illicit profit at the expense of innocent lives.
The case raises numerous questions about the ability of the health system to protect citizens’ rights and safeguard its institutions from manipulations that could seriously damage its reputation.
