The regional judicial police in Rabat referred 22 individuals to the Public Prosecution at the Rabat Court of Appeal on Thursday, November 21, including public officials, company managers, individuals with prior convictions, and intermediaries, suspected of being linked to a criminal network involved in forgery and the use of forged documents for vehicle registration.
The investigation into this case began with an audit that revealed the involvement of employees at the vehicle registration center in Tetouan in forging ownership documents and customs clearance for over 300 vehicles, suspected to have been obtained through theft abroad or imported without proper customs clearance, before being registered and issued legal documents fraudulently at the national level.
The investigation revealed that the suspected public officials were committing these criminal acts in collaboration with brokers, traders, and employees in administrative services for signature verification and civil status.
Moreover, a review of a number of vehicles registered at this center over the past years, using the database of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), showed that dozens of these vehicles were subjects of alerts after being reported stolen in various European countries, while the others were imported through regular procedures before their customs and ownership documents were forged.
The suspects have been placed under police custody pending further investigation, which is being conducted under the supervision of the competent public prosecution, to uncover all circumstances, details, and backgrounds of this case, and to determine the criminal acts attributed to each of the detainees before they are presented before justice.
