Prince Hicham Alaoui has sharply criticized Moroccan security services, denouncing what he describes as a climate of «discomfort» marked by overreach and «reprehensible practices». In the second part of his interview, published Wednesday in the Spanish newspaper El Confidencial, the cousin of King Mohammed VI pointed to methods such as «intrusion into private life», «fabrication of sexual scandals», and «blackmail».
Without citing concrete examples, Moulay Hicham condemned these practices as «reprehensible», including «from an Islamic point of view», stressing that they run counter to the religious principle of preserving human dignity. His remarks came in response to a question from El Confidencial about the possibility of «open conflict between Moroccan services».
The prince deplored what he called an «ecosystem that resorts to surveillance, judicial manipulation, economic suffocation, and even marginalizes individuals through accusations of sexual misconduct, among other tactics». He further noted that these methods have not only been used against citizens and dissidents, but have also «begun to be deployed within the services themselves».
According to him, Moroccan services have even «used these tactics against their superiors and leaders». His comments come amid mounting reactions to a series of leaks carried out by the Algerian hacker group Jabaroot DZ, and also appear to echo recent critical coverage of Morocco published by Le Monde.
