Mohamed Boudrika, president of Raja de Casablanca, was arrested in Germany on Tuesday, July 16, following an international arrest warrant issued by Morocco. Le360 reported that Boudrika was in Hamburg to negotiate a contract extension with coach Josef Zinnbauer when the arrest occurred.
According to the media outlet, Mohamed Boudrika remained unreachable, while his entourage «left doubt by publishing two posts on his official Facebook account». Boudrika's son, contacted by Le360, denied any arrest, claiming that he was with his father, who was asleep in the hotel room. Boudrika's wife also briefly stated that she was «not aware» of the arrest.
Last March, the Aïn Sebaâ Criminal Court sentenced Mohamed Boudrika in absentia to a one-year suspended prison sentence and a fine of 232,500 dirhams for issuing bad cheques. Two complaints were lodged against him in this case, in his capacity as the legal representative of a property development company.
Two months later, the Casablanca administrative court ordered Mohamed Boudrika's removal from the presidency of the Mers Sultan district council. The governor of the Mers Sultan-El Fida prefecture referred the case to the court due to Boudrika's prolonged absence from his duties as the elected official and head of the commune under the RNI party.
