Reliable sources have revealed new information regarding the ongoing investigations into the activities of Hicham Girando, who runs a family-based network specializing in blackmail and defamation spanning Morocco and Canada. He has exploited members of his own family, including minors, to carry out his illegal schemes.
According to the same sources, available evidence points to Girando’s involvement in suspicious activities, including abuse of influence, money laundering, and links to drug traffickers. Investigations have also confirmed his role in managing online extortion operations, recruiting his 22-year-old nephew as a key partner in fraud schemes, while using a minor girl (born in 2010) to activate phone numbers later used to send threats to the network’s victims.
Further inquiries have uncovered suspicious financial transactions linked to these activities, as well as Girando’s alleged attempts to use his perceived influence to interfere with the Moroccan judiciary. He reportedly employed pressure tactics and defamation to manipulate cases in favor of his close associates.
Sources indicate that investigations are ongoing to uncover more details about the network’s illicit financial operations, particularly after tracking international money transfers suspected of being used for money laundering and financing illegal activities.
This case highlights one of the largest cross-border cyber extortion networks, with mounting evidence directly implicating Hicham Girando. The findings raise pressing questions about when he will be held accountable for the alleged crimes.
