Fès mayor's trial resumes
The case of the Mayor of Fez, Abdel Salam El Bakkali, is being renewed before the judiciary, with a new date set for his trial before the Court of Appeal's Criminal Chamber in Fez on charges of "failure to report a serious crime." This follows a decision by the Court of Cassation to overturn the previous ruling and send the case back to the Court of Appeal for review before a new judicial panel, after the Court of Appeal's Criminal Chamber annulled the acquittal and sentenced him to six months in prison to be served immediately in June 2024. The case concerns the management of financial and administrative affairs within the Fez municipality, which has previously seen verdicts against elected officials and employees, including former MP Abdelkader Bousairi, who was sentenced to eight years in prison, and former municipal council clerk Sufyan Al Idrissi, who was convicted of six months. The case is now entering a new phase of review before a different judicial authority, with everyone awaiting the final verdict after the retrial sessions.
