Finally, this university student decides to sell his still-new PC. His need for money forces him to. However, with free classifieds sites, he no longer needs to go looking elsewhere for a buyer. He only needs to type on his computer keyboard to display his "merchandise", his price, and his phone number. This is what our young university student just did, a few days ago, on a specialized site.
A few minutes after offering his PC, a phone call came to him from a buyer. After a short conversation, the price of "the transaction" was set at 5,800 DH.
We are in the economic capital, Casablanca. In a café in Hay Hassani, they meet, the student with the PC in hand and the client with the banknotes in his pocket. They sit down, converse, finish their "deal", and each goes their own way.
In fact, the young university student was full of joy since he managed to sell his PC at a good price. Only, his joy will quickly give way, a few hours later, to sadness. Our young university student discovers that the 29 200 DH banknotes are fake! Without losing time, he goes to the police station and files a complaint while putting the counterfeit banknotes into the hands of the detectives, as well as the client's phone number. He also describes his features to them.
An investigation was immediately launched by the elements of the PJ of the Hay Hassani district. A few hours later, the suspect was arrested, not in Casablanca, but in the Layaïda region, near Bouknadel, a few dozen kilometers from the city of Salé.
It turned out that he was a repeat offender, in his forties, having served a ten-year prison sentence for the same motive, namely the falsification of banknotes. He confessed to having the habit, since his release from prison, of falsifying, daily, a sum ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 DH which he liquidated by buying items from merchants or occasional sellers across the four corners of the Kingdom.
He specified having put in his basket no less than twenty victims living among others in Casablanca, Fès, Rabat, Tangier, Temara, Larache, Tétouan, Safi, and El Jadida. The suspect was brought before the criminal chamber at the Casablanca Court of Appeal, prosecuted for falsification and putting into circulation counterfeit banknotes.
