Fez Financial Crimes Prosecution Launches Preliminary Probes and Merges New Complaints Over Suspected Financial Irregularities

FEZ (FesNews Media) — The Public Prosecution specialized in financial crimes at the Fez Court of Appeal has activated preliminary investigation procedures across a new batch of financial complaints, issuing instructions for in-depth judicial inquiries in four active files while ordering the consolidation of three additional complaints into ongoing police reports and investigations.

According to exclusive judicial data reviewed by FesNews Media, the prosecutorial directives involve complaints filed by corporate and institutional entities as well as individual complainants regarding suspected financial, administrative, and procurement irregularities across provinces falling under the court’s territorial jurisdiction.

Preliminary Investigations into Institutional and Corporate Complaints

Among the newly activated files placed under active preliminary investigation, three complaints were initiated by legal and institutional entities: the first targets a corporate entity identified by initials (R.Ch.), while the second and third target individuals (T.W.) and (Q.M.), alongside a fourth active inquiry involving (H.A.) and (S.A.).

Under the instructions of the King’s Prosecutor General in Fez, these files are entrusted to the Regional Brigade of the Judicial Police (BRPJ) to conduct formal hearings, audit administrative and accounting records, and verify the material elements of the alleged offenses prior to any prosecutorial charging decision.

Procedural Consolidation of Related Financial Complaints

In parallel, the specialized Public Prosecution issued procedural orders merging two new complaints into pre-existing complaint files involving parties (A.T.), (H.J.), and (H.M.) alongside complainant (L.A.), in addition to a third order consolidating a supplementary complaint directly into an active judicial police investigation report.

In financial crime procedure, the consolidation of complaints ensures unified investigative handling whenever multiple filings or audit reports address interconnected transactions or the same public entity, preventing fragmented inquiries and strengthening evidentiary coherence.

Rigorous Screening Across Fez-Meknes, the Oriental, and Draa-Tafilalet

This prosecutorial activity reflects the systematic screening conducted by the Fez Financial Crimes division across the Fez-Meknes, Oriental, and Draa-Tafilalet regions, balancing thorough investigation of public fund allegations with strict adherence to investigative secrecy and the presumption of innocence.

In strict compliance with Moroccan press ethics, Press and Publishing Law No. 88.13, and Personal Data Protection Law No. 09.08, FesNews Media upholds the constitutional presumption of innocence for all individuals referenced by initials and guarantees the full right of reply before the competent judicial authorities.
