Casablanca- Local authorities appointed a new security cell specializing in informatics to analyze the terrifying pictures published on the Tshermil Facebook pages in order to determine the phenomenon’s origin, according to Assabah.
Since the local authorities started pursuing suspects who posted their pictures on the Facebook page Tshermil, over 30 suspects have been arrested.
The suspects have posted pictures of themselves armed with knives and swords, proudly displaying their loot. The posters alarmed the local population and destabilized the secure feeling of citizens in Casablanca.
Notably, most of the suspects in the pictures are teenagers, which made the police suppose that there may be movements or organizations behind these pages, attempting to destabilize the the country, according to Assabah.
Police are interrogating the arrested suspects to find out their motives for posting the pictures, and whether there are social elements encouraging them to post these pictures.
This security cell will analyze all pictures posted on the “Tshermil” Facebook pages to determine whether the pictures belong to the people in them, or if they were edited via Photoshop by certain organizations in order to terrify the inhabitants of Casablanca.
“Tshermil” comes from the Moroccan Arabic word “sharmal,” which means “to marinate” in reference to food. Tshermil in this context, though, refers to a criminal gang whose members specialize in extorting people’s belongings by threatening their victims using knives and swords. They are known for wearing expensive athletic clothes and having unusual haircuts.
Members of Tshermil are known for their hatred towards successful and rich people and for being ruthless with their victims.
