The King's prosecutor at the Casablanca Criminal Court of First Instance confirmed the arrest of Moroccan YouTuber 3robi F Merican, citing «insulting and defamatory expressions against constitutional institutions, organized establishments and public officials».
In 2010, his name was mentioned in an investigation into the assassination three years earlier of one of his aides. Since then, Reda Abakrim has disappeared into the wild, living under false identities. But his run ended with his last attempt to return to Morocco.
