Former Moroccan Parliamentarian Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison for Financial Fraud

The Aïn Sebaa Court of First Instance in Casablanca sentenced former parliamentarian Babour Sghir, member of the Constitutional Union (UC) to 4 years in prison for financial fraud.

The verdict fell on Thursday evening, according to the Arabic-speaking site hespress.com.

The disputes with the justice of the former parliamentarian intervened following a complaint lodged against him by a subsidiary of the La Samir refinery for “non-respect of financial commitments” towards the latter, while he is the owner and the manager of two companies specializing in the sale and distribution of fuels, thus accumulating a large debt of 247 million DH, specifies the same source.

The plaintiff company asserts that it only received from Babur Seghir a sum of 16,625,000.00 DH out of an amount already fixed at 120,900,000.00 DH.

The former parliamentarian continued to claim, during the investigation, that he would have given Samir as guarantees, signed blank cheques, a mortgage on a villa belonging to him, a draft in the amount of 60 million of dirhams, as well as a surety from certain notaries.

It should be recalled that Babur Sghir is being sued in another case related to this case, which is being handled by the Casablanca Court of Appeal. It concerns a senior official of BMCE Bank who, it is said, would have facilitated the former parliamentarian “to obtain”
sums of money exceeding 30 billion cents with non-compliant documents, adds Hespress.

Another case to follow…
