Judicial sources revealed that the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the Tangier Court of Appeal has referred a Schengen visa forgery case to the Court of First Instance, in a new development of a case that has shaken the city. The case involves a network specialized in forging official documents used in visa applications for entry to European Union countries.
Initial details of the case indicate that the main suspect was arrested by the judicial police after being caught in possession of several passports and forged documents. Another person was also arrested after attempting to use forged documents at the Spanish Consulate in Tangier.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office has ordered the detention of the main suspect in preventive custody at the local prison in Tangier, while the second suspect was released pending trial but remains under judicial supervision.
In a related context, the Spanish Consulate has filed an official complaint against more than twenty individuals suspected of involvement in forging social security documents and banking records. The suspects come from various neighborhoods in Tangier, including Bir Chifa, Bouhout, Braness, and the old city.
The Public Prosecutor has ordered a comprehensive investigation into the case, tasking the Regional Judicial Police Brigade with gathering evidence and interviewing suspects and witnesses. This action comes as part of ongoing efforts to combat document forgery and curb illegal immigration to Europe.
Sources indicate that ongoing investigations may reveal more individuals involved in this network, potentially leading to new arrests in the coming days.
The case highlights the authorities’ intensified efforts to crack down on document forgery networks and ensure the integrity of the visa application process. The Spanish Consulate’s involvement demonstrates the serious approach being taken to address this issue, which has implications for both national security and international relations.
This investigation is seen as part of a broader campaign to combat fraudulent practices in visa applications and maintain the credibility of official documentation processes between Morocco and European countries.
