In Tangier, following the intervention of local authorities, a series of illegal constructions were demolished last week. Among these structures, some belonged to local elected officials. Investigations have revealed that corrupt politicians have for years exploited legal loopholes to illegally appropriate land in Tangier. An investigation is underway to present the cases of infringement to the Attorney General.
Authorities acted last weekend to raze several buildings erected without permission. Reports indicate that some of these illegal buildings belonged to elected officials from different districts of Tangier.
Two residential buildings in Masnana and Bani Mkada, built illegally, were also destroyed. One of these buildings, erected quickly, was the property of a municipal councilor. These structures were taken down with the help of law enforcement, despite opposition from their owners.

In addition, a legal procedure was initiated to examine the offenses and submit them to the Attorney General, in order to clarify the circumstances and reasons for these illegal acts.
Following some statements, a committee was formed to investigate the existence of criminal networks offering false opportunities. This group must also carefully study the fraudulent documents in circulation, allegedly issued by local authorities and elected officials. The authorities had previously collected information during inspections carried out by their administrative agents.
It has been revealed that corrupt politicians have been grabbing land in Tangier and surrounding areas by exploiting legal loopholes for decades. The authorities have begun to resolve these cases by resolving community conflicts and regularizing the situation of forest properties, to prevent the illegal acquisition of land titles.
During this operation, it was discovered that individuals illegally held the majority of collective land, estimated at several hundred hectares.
