In the Eye of the Media Storm… A Senior Judicial Source Confirms to “Fes News”: “Legal Procedures Override All Considerations… The Presumption of Innocence Is a Sacred Principle That Cannot Be Overridden”

Fes, September 12, 2025 – While some national media outlets were buzzing with news about the suspension of a judicial official at the Fez Court of Appeal, followed by sensational details that prematurely portray the accused as guilty, “Fes News” obtained an exclusive statement from a responsible and well-informed source who sets the record straight and returns the case to its rightful course: the path of law and respect for institutions.

Contrary to the absolute judgments and defamation that dominated the rushed coverage, our source firmly stressed that “the allegations of bribery leading to the dismissal of a judicial official in Fez are not true,” clarifying that such formulations themselves represent a prejudgment and a serious violation of justice principles and professional ethics.

The source affirmed to “Fes News” that “legal procedures will not be affected by the clash of rumors,” clearly indicating that the judiciary will not bow to any pressure, and that the investigation will proceed naturally with complete confidentiality and independence, far from the noise intended to influence the course of justice.

According to our source, this hasty media approach reflects a “complete disregard for professionalism in reporting and a lack of respect for journalistic ethics, which require upholding the presumption of innocence and adherence to legal procedures.” The golden principle upon which the edifice of justice is built—that “the accused is innocent until proven guilty”—seems to have fallen victim to reckless breaking news.

In this context, a legal source closely following the case told “Fes News” that justice cannot be achieved in the media arena, and that a fair judicial investigation is the only way to uncover the truth. The source added that any case of such complexity should be handled away from pressures, with careful scrutiny of the credibility of evidence and the motives of all parties involved.

The legal source concluded by affirming that the citizen’s right to information is sacred but must never be turned into a tool for defamation or judicial influence, stating, “The final truth is owned solely by the judiciary after all stages of fair litigation are completed.”
