The "Al-Sak" Case in Tangier... The Public Prosecutor Reveals a Serious Case of Forgery, and a Committee from the Ministry of the Interior Is Investigating the Prefecture!

The case involving suspicious ballots at Al-Quds School in Tangier has seen rapid judicial and administrative developments, as the King’s Public Prosecutor at the Court of Appeals announced the arrest of five suspects and their placement in pretrial detention, including the heads of two polling stations and their deputies. Investigations revealed that the deputy head of one of the polling stations embezzled the ballots with the help of the head and hid them in a bag to remove them before returning them, in coordination with the other individuals involved. Furthermore, forensic analysis confirmed that the ink used for marking the ballots differed from the official ink used by the polling stations. Consequently, a request was made for a detailed investigation to be conducted, with the suspects placed in pretrial detention on suspicion of committing the felonies of election fraud and forgery.
On the administrative and political front, a central committee from the Ministry of the Interior, headed by the Director of Internal Affairs for the Governors of Tangier, was dispatched to investigate officials and law enforcement personnel to determine how the ballots were leaked outside legal channels. In response, Mounir Lemouri, the mayor of Tangier from the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), issued a statement categorically denying rumors circulating about his “flight from the country,” emphasizing that he is outside Morocco on a short family vacation and will return early next week, and that his trip has nothing to do with the ongoing investigations and does not constitute any attempt to evade them.
