The Crown Prosecutor at the Court of Cassation and Chief Public Prosecutor, Hassan Daki, revealed that pretrial detention declined in an unprecedented manner during the year 2024, as it went from 37.56% at the end of December of 2023 to 32.56% during the same period in the past.
Al-Daki said, in a speech on the occasion of the opening of the judicial year 2025, that the percentage of pretrial detention until the end of December 2024 amounted to about 32.56%, “which is an unprecedented percentage,” compared to 37.56% during the same period last year.
This shift, according to Al-Daki, reflects “the great interest that the judiciary gives to the issue of rationalizing pretrial detention and deciding the cases of detainees within reasonable deadlines.”
At the level of complaints management, the speaker notes, statistics for the year 2024 indicate that the public prosecution offices in the various courts of the Kingdom received 565,874 complaints, of which 484,066 complaints were completed, meaning a completion rate of 88%.
These complaints were distributed among 31,664 complaints before the Courts of Appeal, of which 28,594 complaints were settled, or 91%, while the number of complaints before the Courts of First Instance reached 534,210 complaints, of which 455,472 complaints were settled, or 86%.
During the year 2024, two million and 324 thousand reports were submitted to public prosecutions, of which 2,179,746 reports were completed, i.e. a completion rate of 94%, of which more than 80 thousand were registered in the courts of appeal.
In the field of protecting rights and freedoms, during the year 2024, the number of visits to places designated for theoretical guarding reached a total of 22,137 visits out of a supposed 19,032, that is, a rate of 116%, Al-Daki adds.
