Bouarfa: dismantlement of clandestine laboratory producing El Mahia

The judicial police of Bouarfa put an end to the activities of a clandestine distillation laboratory producing traditional alcohol known as "El Mahia", according to a report by Google News MA — Crime (fr).

The operation, carried out by judicial police services in the Bouarfa region, made it possible to locate and neutralise an illicit installation dedicated to the production of this artisanal spirit. The authorities proceeded to seize the distillation equipment used in this clandestine activity.

The manufacture and marketing of alcohol without authorisation constitutes a breach of legal provisions in force in Morocco. This type of clandestine installation also presents health risks linked to the consumption of uncontrolled products.

The people involved were placed in custody as part of the judicial inquiry opened following this discovery. The case was referred to the competent prosecutor's office for further proceedings.
