Morocco: casinos under close surveillance

As part of the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism, the competent services of the Ministry of the Interior carried out control missions in seven casinos between April and September 2024, and dismantled several terrorist cells during the recent months.

This is indicated in the 2024 activity report of the Ministry of the Interior, sent to the House of Representatives as part of the debates on the 2025 finance bill. Employees of the casino sector participated in workshops and forums, in person and by videoconference, organized by the ministry and international institutions dedicated to the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism, such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the Financial Action for the Middle East and North Africa, and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
