Morocco court jails two politicians in Desert Escobar drug case
A Moroccan court has sentenced two prominent politicians, Abdel Nabi Beyaoui and Saeed Al-Nasiri, to 12 and 10 years in prison respectively, on charges related to an international drug trafficking case known as "The Desert Escobar." This marks the first such trial in Morocco where two politicians are prosecuted in this manner. The case relies on evidence including telephone calls, financial transfers, and accusations of documenting theft of personal property. The defendants have been in custody since the end of 2023. The case was initiated following a complaint from a Malian citizen named Hadj Ahmed Binbrahim, known as "The Desert Escobar," who is considered one of the most significant suspects in the drug trafficking scandal.
