As part of ongoing efforts to combat cybercrime and financial fraud, the Regional Judicial Police Unit in Fez, in coordination with the General Directorate for National Territory Surveillance, successfully dismantled a criminal network involved in fraud and forgery. Seven individuals, aged between 26 and 47, were arrested on Monday, February 17.
Investigations revealed that the suspects exploited citizens’ need for visa application appointments, deceiving victims by falsely claiming they could secure appointments in exchange for money. Security inquiries uncovered instances of document forgery and the use of falsified papers as part of this illegal activity.
Search operations led to the seizure of identification documents and paperwork related to Schengen visa applications, along with sums of money and receipts for financial transactions suspected to be proceeds from the fraudulent scheme. Several electronic devices, including computers and mobile phones, were also confiscated, believed to contain digital evidence proving the suspects’ involvement.
The arrested individuals have been placed under preventive detention for judicial investigation, conducted under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office, to deepen inquiries and identify all parties connected to this case.
