Casablanca- The Casablanca police have arrested a 15-year-old drug dealer in the city’s notorious Sbata neighborhood on Saturday.
The suspect is by far the youngest drug dealer to be apprehended in Morocco. The young suspect was caught red-handed by the local police as he was about to sell two grams of cocaine to a client.
The 15-year-old drug dealer subsequently denounced his supplier during police interrogations. The supplier was identified as a 55-year-old woman nicknamed “Tbiba” (the doctor), who already had criminal records.
The Casablanca police are now increasing efforts to apprehend “Tbiba,” who clearly did not hesitate to get a minor involved in her criminal network.
The arrest of the 15-year-old called forth the indignation of public opinion and cast light on one of the darkest corners of Moroccan society.
