Hidden daughter of Hassan II: Moroccan royal family files complaint

While Jane Benzaquen, the 72-year-old Belgian-Moroccan born in Casablanca, who says she is convinced she is the “hidden daughter” of Hassan II and therefore the half-sister of King Mohammed VI, continues her fight for recognition of paternity, the royal family “considers itself the victim of an attempted extortion” and is filing a complaint for fraud.

There is something new in the case of the alleged “hidden daughter” of Hassan II. The Kingdom of Morocco has filed a complaint for fraud against Jane Benzaquen and her family. This Belgian-Israeli, who hired Belgian lawyer Marc Uyttendaele to advance the legal proceedings she began in 2008, says she is convinced she is the “hidden daughter” of the father of King Mohammed VI. “We are at the beginning of the procedure,” confided to RTLinfo Stanislas Eskénazi, the lawyer representing King Mohammed VI in this case. So, the parties have concluded in this case and each one puts forward its arguments. And the argument of the Moroccan state is to say that its request must simply be dismissed.
