A Judicial Earthquake in the “Forest 33” Case… The Baron Is Imprisoned in Okasha Prison, and Six Gendarmes Walked Away with the Spoils!

Developments in the “Forest 33” case (Trontroua) on the outskirts of Mohammedia and Benslimane, after the investigating judge of the Fifth Chamber of the Casablanca Court of Appeals decided to remand the main suspect (28 years old) to the Ain Sebaa “Oukacha” local prison, after he was brought in by the National Judicial Police Brigade under heavy security.

This decision comes after “Baron” Al-Wazani, leader of the “Brothers Gang,” was caught in a joint security ambush in the commune of “Wanana” in the province of Ouzane, coordinated by intelligence from the “DST,” for his direct involvement in the premeditated murder with a firearm and the killing of two young men due to conflicts over the trafficking of hard drugs and psychotropic substances.

In a shocking development that shook the investigation, evidence revealed that six gendarmes working under the cover of the Bouznika detachment were placed under investigation at both the Tamsna and Dar al-Sikka barracks in the city of Salé, after the National Judicial Investigation Brigade of the Royal Gendarmerie joined the investigation.

This step was taken based on confessions from arrested drug barons, the results of forensic analyses, call transcripts, and surveillance of movements, which revealed suspicions of collusion and the facilitation of drug trafficking in exchange for money, amid expectations that the scope of accountability will be expanded to include other local officials.
