Members of the regional division of the judicial police of the city of Fez, in coordination with the interests of the General Directorate of National Territorial Surveillance, were able to arrest five people, including two women and a person with a criminal record, suspected of involvement in the activity of a criminal network engaging in fraud and deception.
Research data suggests that the inmates were involved in the creation of a trading company, used as a front to deceive citizens wishing to acquire new and used cars and trucks, by receiving sums of money from them, totaling more than 16 million dirhams, in exchange for fictitious promises to sell these vehicles at low prices after purchasing them from car rental companies or through public auctions.
Research also showed that the suspects shared the stolen sums of money with the victims without fulfilling their obligations to provide the agreed cars and trucks.
The detainees were kept under theoretical surveillance pending an investigation supervised by the competent public prosecutor, with the aim of identifying the remaining extensions of this criminal activity and arresting all those involved in it.
