The departmental department of the judicial police of Casablanca on Saturday opened a judicial investigation, under the supervision of the competent prosecutor, against two police officers, a brigadier general and a brigadier general, because of their alleged involvement in a corruption case, says the Directorate-General National Security.
The investigation was initiated following a complaint filed by a citizen of an Arab country and his wife of Moroccan nationality claiming to have been detained by two police officers who asked him for a sum of money to avoid being fined after a traffic violation, says the Directorate-General for National Security (DGSN) in a statement.
Investigations conducted by the judicial police identified the two police officers who were subjected to a judicial investigation to clarify the ins and outs of this case, adding the same source.
The two persons involved were placed in custody in accordance with the instructions of the competent public prosecutor, while the DGSN has instituted disciplinary proceedings against them, pending the outcome of the ongoing criminal investigation, the statement concludes.
