Tangier Mayor Mounir Limouri faces search warrant in election fraud probe
Judicial police in Tangier have issued a search warrant for the Mayor of Tangier, Mounir Limouri, following an investigation into electoral fraud. The case centers on the discovery of forged electoral papers and envelopes at a voting station located within the Al-Quds institution in the Swani area.
Authorities have arrested five individuals in connection with the incident. One suspect, a 22-year-old described as a friend of the primary suspect, was apprehended in the Massanane district. Police also seized a vehicle suspected of being used to transport the forged documents.
The Public Prosecutor has ordered the extension of police custody for the main suspect to facilitate confrontations between the detainees and to uncover the full extent of the conspiracy. While official confirmation regarding Limouri's current location is pending, unconfirmed reports suggest he may have left Morocco, with some sources speculating he could be in Spain.
