The Rotterdam court has requested to hear Moroccan intelligence chief Yassine Mansouri as a witness in the trial of Abderrahim El M., a former Dutch security official accused of «leaking state secrets» to Morocco. El M., who denies all charges, remains in pre-trial detention and insists he has «never, ever violated» the trust of the Dutch state.
The role of Morocco’s intelligence services in its diplomatic achievements, particularly on the Sahara issue, is undeniable—a fact acknowledged by both global powers and African states.
