The legal drama involving Mohamed Moubdii, the ex-minister and ex-president of the commune of Fkih Ben Salah is taking a new turn. The investigating judge at the Casablanca Court of Appeal has completed the examination of his case, close sources indicate. Moubdii might find himself before the courts following serious accusations relating to his management of the commune of Fkih Ben Salah.
The in-depth interrogation sessions with Mohamed Moubdii highlighted a series of irregularities in his management of the city, where he served as president of the commune for several successive terms. The charges once morest him include crimes such as “embezzlement of public funds”, “abuse of power”, “corruption”, as well as “falsification of official, commercial and administrative documents”.
The investigation carried out by the competent authorities is not only limited to the management of the municipality, but also extends to public procurement and urban development contracts supervised by Moubdii during his mandate as president of the municipality. These investigations reveal suspicions of financial embezzlement, manipulation in public contracts, overinvoicing, as well as the payment of royalties for work not carried out.
Additionally, some allegations point to the alleged steering of contracts toward specific companies and consultancies, raising questions regarding possible favoritism and political connections.
The legal proceedings once morest Mohamed Moubdii have their origins in a complaint filed by the Casablanca-Settat regional section of the Moroccan Association for the Protection of Public Finances. This complaint accuses the former minister of multiple offenses, including embezzlement of public funds, illegal enrichment and violation of the public procurement law.
While Mohamed Moubdii’s case is now in the hands of the Attorney General at the Court of Appeal, it is expected that the latter will formulate his requisitions in the days to come. This step might mark the start of a high-profile trial that might have significant repercussions on the Moroccan political sphere, particularly within the Popular Movement Party.
