Informed sources reported that security services detained an Algerian supporter on Wednesday evening in Casablanca, following the circulation on social media of a video showing him using offensive language and allegedly claiming to have engaged in inappropriate behavior inside the stadium stands. The incident occurred during the match between the Algeria national football team and the DR Congo national football team, played in the Round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Morocco.
According to available information, the individual was transferred to Rabat, where he is undergoing questioning by the competent authorities to hear his statement and determine the circumstances of the incident, ahead of any legal consequences provided for by law. Sources stressed that the presumption of innocence applies until procedures are completed.
The widely shared video sparked strong reactions, with many observers expressing disapproval of any conduct that could undermine public order inside sports facilities or violate the values of fair play—particularly during a continental tournament that attracts broad public and media attention.
In this context, informed sources confirmed that security services continue to take the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the law inside stadiums and to address any misconduct that could affect spectator safety or the image of sporting competitions.
According to the same information, several fan-related infractions have been recorded during the tournament, with the competent public prosecutors handling the appropriate legal steps in line with applicable regulations.
The investigation remains ongoing, pending its findings, without drawing conclusions or assigning responsibility until final legal decisions are issued.
