This past weekend witnessed a massive theft scandal at a branch of an international company specialized in money transport and security. The company was the victim of a theft amounting to around 1.3 billion centimes. These funds were meant to be transferred to bank branches and to finance ATMs in Rabat and Temara.
According to reliable sources, the company’s management and security services experienced a major shock upon discovering the huge deficit in the financial accounts. Things only got worse when news came in about the suspected employees fleeing to Turkey, further complicating the process of tracking them down and uncovering the details of this unprecedented case for the company.
The sources mentioned that the Royal Gendarmerie in Ain Atiq, where the affected branch is located, has launched investigations in coordination with the Judicial Center in Temara and the central and regional commands in Rabat, under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office in Temara. The investigators received a detailed report from the company’s management containing an accurate inventory of the amounts that were supposed to be transported to private banks and were subsequently stolen.
Security reports confirmed that the suspects fled to Turkey in the early hours of Sunday morning, accompanied by the wife of one of them, after suddenly disappearing from work. The incident caused a major security mobilization in the Ain Atiq region, where the company’s branch is located, and a specialized search team was formed in coordination with the company’s technicians to identify the suspects and assess the financial damage caused by the theft.
The investigations are ongoing amid anticipation, in an attempt to reach new leads that may contribute to arresting the suspects and recovering the stolen funds.
