An uproar has started among lawyers, bailiffs, judges and companies involved in the industrialization of justice and the privatization of the Casablanca court of First Instance, simply known now as #MahkamaGate.
After Yabiladi revealed that more than 81,375 recovery cases were handled by a Casablanca court in almost record periods and unbeknownst to debtors, the second part of the investigation unveils the names of the lawyers, judges and creditors involved in most of these cases. Most of the data featured in the paper is available on courts portal mahakim.ma.
After Hirak detainees received heavy sentences, ranging from 20 to 2 years, their families and some of their lawyers took their disappointment to social media to denounce the court’s decision.
