The Court of First Instance in the city of Marrakech has sentenced a number of individuals involved in the death of an underage girl during a noisy party in a luxury villa.
The girl drowned in the pool during a night of alcohol and narcotics.
The court sentenced a Kuwaiti tourist to seven months in prison and a Moroccan domestic worker to ten months, and issued suspended prison sentences for nine other people, including seven Kuwaitis and two Moroccans, and ordered the reinstatement of the financial bail.
The case included serious criminal charges that included deceiving a minor, indecent assault, corruption, incitement to prostitution, and drug consumption.
The trial witnessed the hearing of the Kuwaitis accused by the Royal Gendarmerie to reveal the details of the incident, as investigations confirmed that the death resulted from drowning in the swimming pool of the villa during the party.
It is noteworthy that progress was recorded in the 2023 Organized Crime Index in Morocco, where it obtained an average of 4.8 on a scale ranging from 1 to 10, and reports indicated that Morocco is a source, destination, and transit point for victims of forced labor and sex trafficking.
Moroccan Interior Minister Abdelouafi Laftit revealed figures related to cyber prostitution earlier this year, explaining that cases related to this type of crime remain limited, and that the security operations that took place during the current year resulted in the registration of 83 cases, as a result of which 36 people were arrested and brought to justice.
