The number of those arrested in the “Al-Khair Group” case, which is known as the largest fraud case in the history of Morocco, has risen to 21 people.

According to informed sources, intensive judicial investigations are continuing for the third week in a row, under the supervision of the investigating judge at the Tangier Court of First Instance, with the detainees in this case, who are currently in pretrial detention in Tangier 2 prison.

The same sources explained that the suspects are 7 men and 14 women, most of whom are responsible for managing the so-called “Al-Khair Group,” which defrauded more than 1,250 victims inside and outside Morocco.

The sources reported that the recent interrogation sessions focused on the roles of the two main defendants in the group, namely the “group director” and the “group president,” especially with regard to recently purchased real estate in the name of the group leader and some members of her family, and attempts to dispose of it after the issuance of judicial search warrants against her.

According to the same sources, the head of the “Al-Khair Group”, during the initial stages of the investigation, denied the existence of any connection between the funds collected by the group and the purchase of these properties located in the cities of Tangier and Casablanca. However, developments took a different turn when the director made frank confessions confirming that the head of the group I ordered her to withdraw significant amounts of the group’s funds.

In light of these conflicting confessions, everyone is awaiting the investigating judge’s decision, which is expected to be issued soon.

It should be noted that those involved in this file were able to seize more than 80 billion centimes, as they face charges of fraud, breach of trust, receiving money from the public, carrying out the credit process on a regular basis without legal approval, calling for collecting donations without a license, and distributing aid without permits from the relevant authorities.
