Counterfeit banknote trafficking dismantled in Oulad Ghanem

It all starts in a small grocery store in Oulad Ghanem. A trader, intrigued by a 200 dirham note with a questionable feel, decides to alert the authorities. Quickly, the gendarmerie took action, smelling a larger affair. The first clues lead them on the trail of an organized gang, operating from El Jadida but with ramifications as far as Marrakech, Essaouira and Safi.

After hours of shadowing and careful investigations, a first suspect is arrested. Originally from Marrakech, this individual, based in El Jadida, was unable to resist the investigators’ incisive questions. Cornered, he ends up confessing: he and his accomplices are the authors of this vast counterfeiting operation.

But the matter is far from closed. The accomplices, now identified, remain untraceable. According to sources close to the investigation, the latter fled as soon as the net tightened. Their criminal activity, skillfully orchestrated, would have allowed the circulation of dozens of counterfeit notes in several cities.

Currently, the arrested suspect is placed in police custody under the supervision of the prosecution. Meanwhile, the gendarmes continue the hunt with determination, determined to put an end to the actions of this daring gang.

Each avenue is carefully explored, and the suspense remains: where are the last two members of this network hiding?

The region is holding its breath, awaiting the outcome of this thrilling investigation, which once again illustrates the unfailing commitment of the police.
