Settat prosecutors launch investigation into electoral audio leak

The Public Prosecutor at the Court of Appeal in Settat has launched a judicial investigation into an audio recording circulating on social media. The recording contains content that authorities believe could undermine the integrity and image of the electoral process.

The investigation aims to determine the circumstances surrounding the recording, its leak, and its circulation, while verifying the authenticity of the audio and its contents. Specialized services have been tasked with identifying potential legal violations and determining responsibilities.

Reports suggest the recording documents a closed meeting regarding campaign arrangements in the Casablanca-Settat region. Allegations within the audio include instructions for mobilizing voters using personal data, efforts to obstruct political competitors, and the distribution of monetary payments to field coordinators and youth mobilizers. The judicial inquiry is being conducted as part of broader efforts to ensure transparency and protect the sanctity of the upcoming legislative elections.
