The controversy surrounding the financial management of the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music continues to escalate, as new information obtained by Fes News suggests that the president of the Spirit of Fes Foundation may be at the center of serious financial suspicions related to the handling of public funding and the management of festival finances.
According to leaked documents, there are indications of legal irregularities in the festival’s budget management, along with a lack of transparency in certain contracts and deals signed by the organizing foundation. The documents reveal that partner entities have repeatedly sent inquiries regarding the festival’s budget without receiving clear responses, prompting some observers to demand an official investigation into these potential financial irregularities.
Parliamentary Sources to Fes News: A Judicial Investigation Is Now a Necessity
In an exclusive statement to Fes News, a prominent Member of Parliament confirmed that these revelations “constitute strong suspicions of financial crimes, necessitating swift intervention by the competent judicial authorities.” He added that Parliament might discuss this issue if the financial mismanagement remains unresolved, emphasizing that such cases must be subject to the principle of “accountability in governance,” especially when public funds are involved.
Meanwhile, some of the festival’s financial sponsors have expressed concerns over the ongoing financial ambiguity, warning that they may reconsider their funding if clear explanations regarding the allocation of support funds are not provided.
Fes News continues to monitor the case and will provide updates as soon as new developments emerge.
