Latest Developments in the Burning of a Chevrolet Taxi in Marrakesh... Close Coordination Between Security Forces and the Gendarmerie Solves the Mystery of the Crime!

The Anti-Gang Unit of the Marrakesh Security Directorate, in close coordination with the Bab Dakhala Judicial Center of the Royal Gendarmerie, headed by Younes Aati “Al-Moustach,” in arresting three individuals—including a 15-year-old minor and a person with a criminal record—for their involvement in the heinous crime that shook the municipality of “Saada,” which involved luring a taxi driver, tying him up, confining him in the trunk of the car, and setting it on fire in an attempt to burn him alive—before he miraculously escaped.

The key factor and main reason for the rapid dismantling of this gang was a complaint filed with law enforcement by a second victim, who works as a motorcycle taxi driver through a ride-sharing app, and who received a similar lure to an isolated area, where his motorcycle and belongings were stolen at knifepoint. Technical and field investigations revealed that the same criminal network was involved in both cases, and the three detainees were placed under judicial investigation under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office to be brought to justice on serious criminal charges.
