The Primary Criminal Court specialized in financial crimes at the Court of Appeal in Marrakech postponed the trial of a group of elected officials and senior executives involved in irregularities related to state properties until October 24th, to allow the Public Prosecutor’s Office sufficient time to summon Abdel Rahim Boualala, the Regional Director of State Property.
According to sources, the Public Prosecutor at the Marrakech Court of Appeal contacted the Public Prosecutor at the Primary Court, requesting the freezing of the defendants’ assets until the money laundering case is adjudicated.
The investigating judge also issued a warrant to withdraw passports and impose travel bans against several defendants, including the former mayor of Marrakech, Mohamed El Arabi Belkaid, his first deputy and member of the Marrakech-Safi Regional Council, as well as a current deputy mayor of Marrakech who previously headed one of the districts of the “City of Palm Trees.”
This postponement is part of an ongoing judicial process examining financial corruption cases related to the suspicious transfer of state-owned lands in the Marrakech region—a case that has attracted significant local and national public interest.
