Casablanca, February 22, 2025 — Police forces in the Casablanca Security Prefecture, in coordination with their counterparts in the city of Safi, have arrested an individual suspected of being linked to a criminal network specializing in defrauding individuals seeking to emigrate. The security operation was carried out on Friday, February 21, as part of ongoing investigations into a case involving 117 victims of fraud.
Authorities had launched a judicial inquiry following complaints from victims who were deceived into paying money in exchange for false promises of being registered on a list for seasonal agricultural work contracts in a European country. Initial investigations led to the identification of four women suspected of involvement in this criminal network, who were arrested and referred to the competent public prosecutor’s office at the beginning of February.
Through continuous investigations, security forces were able to identify the main suspect in the case, who was arrested during a precise security operation in Casablanca. The suspect has been placed under police custody pending further judicial investigation supervised by the public prosecutor’s office, aimed at uncovering all the details and circumstances of the case and determining the full extent of the criminal activities attributed to the individual.
This operation is part of the ongoing efforts by security authorities to combat organized crime and protect citizens from fraud, particularly schemes targeting the most vulnerable groups.
