The Public Prosecution launches a specialized training program on financial crimes for judges and judicial police officers
This Monday morning, at the headquarters of the Public Prosecution in Rabat, the Attorney General at the Court of Cassation and Head of Public Prosecution, Hicham Belahouel, officially launched training sessions specialized in financial crimes, in partnership with the Supreme Council of the Judiciary, and in the presence of representatives from the General Directorate of National Security and the High Command of the Royal Gendarmerie.
Belahouel affirmed that protecting public funds remains a major national responsibility that requires comprehensive legislative and institutional mobilization. He pointed out that financial crimes exceed mere material losses, affecting the components of development and stability, and constitute a direct threat to economic and social security.
He explained that this training program is part of implementing the royal directives that emphasize the need to qualify the justice system and enhance its performance through quality and continuous training.
The program extends over three months (October, November, and December 2025), aimed at enhancing the capabilities of judges and judicial police officers in tracking financial crimes and keeping pace with evolving methods, utilizing remote visual technology to ensure widespread benefit across different courts in the kingdom.
The Head of Public Prosecution emphasized that continuous training is a strategic choice to enhance the efficiency of actors in criminal justice, especially in light of the complexity of cases involving embezzlement, money laundering, and financing terrorism, highlighting the importance of standardizing professional terminology between judges and law enforcement agencies to ensure effective investigations and prosecutions.
At the conclusion of the meeting, Belahouel urged prosecutors to double their efforts in combating corruption and protecting public funds, reinforcing values of integrity and transparency, and implementing the royal vision aimed at strengthening citizens’ trust in justice and state institutions.
