Casablanca: a well-oiled network shakes up the real estate market

An English teacher working at a famous private school in Casablanca is at the heart of a document falsification network active in real estate. He and three individuals were arrested by elements of the royal gendarmerie from the Médiouna brigade.

It all started with a complaint filed by members of a family with the Mediouna gendarmerie. Back in Casablanca, they discovered that their house was inhabited by a woman whom they accuse of having despoiled their residence, reports Assabah. This woman claimed to have bought it. Elements of the Médiouna gendarmerie then conducted an investigation. It emerged that “it was a customary sales contract dating from 2008, before the promulgation of a law that cancels the use of customary contracts in real estate transactions.” During her hearing, “the squatter” told investigators that the contract was issued to her by an individual she had met at a “public writer’s” for a large sum of money. This lead allowed the gendarmes to identify and locate the mastermind of a document falsification network. He was an English teacher working at a famous private school in Casablanca.
