Investigation in Morocco against elected PJD member accused of links between drugs and election financing
According to Google News MA — Crime (fr), a judicial investigation has been opened in Morocco against a deputy from the Party of Justice and Development (PJD) following statements he allegedly made about the use of "drug money" in the financing of elections.
The comments attributed to the elected official triggered a response from the competent authorities, who decided to pursue the matter. The precise nature of the statements as well as the circumstances in which they were made have not been fully clarified by the available sources.
The PJD, the main opposition party since its defeat in the 2021 legislative elections, thus finds itself embroiled in a sensitive case involving justice, politics and drug trafficking. No formal charges have yet been announced at this stage. The investigation is ongoing.
