Hicham Belal, the Attorney General at the Court of Cassation and Head of the Public Prosecution, chaired the opening session of specialized training courses on financial crimes today, Monday, at the headquarters of the Public Prosecution in Rabat. The event was organized in partnership with the Supreme Council of the Judicial Authority, with representatives from the Directorate General of National Security and the Royal Gendarmerie in attendance.
This training program, which spans three months (October, November, and December), aims to enhance the capabilities of various stakeholders involved in combating financial crimes and protecting public funds. It targets judges, both in the judiciary and public prosecution, as well as judicial police officers working in financial crime departments across the country.
During his opening remarks, Hicham Belal emphasized that “the mission of protecting public funds is considered a serious responsibility that requires the adoption of various legislative and judicial measures aimed primarily at safeguarding community rights and improving public life.”
The Head of the Public Prosecution stressed that this training initiative aligns with the justice institutions’ vision to promote values of integrity and transparency, and to reinforce public trust in institutions. He added that addressing financial crimes requires specialized and ongoing training that keeps pace with the legal and digital advancements impacting economic and financial crime.
These courses are expected to provide a platform for exchanging experiences and best practices among various components of the justice and security sectors, aiming for greater effectiveness in tracking and prosecuting financial crimes while reinforcing principles of good governance and ethical conduct in public life.
