Morocco .. Land of Thieves


This is a small part of the amounts of money that have been stolen in Morocco from public organizations in the past decades:

- CIH Bank (credit immobilers) : 8 billion dirhams ($ 750 million)
- Credit Agricole Bank: 846 Million Dirhams
- Banque populaire: 30 million dirhams

and those 7 robberies are recognized by the Moroccan state to be happened:

1- Caisse national de la securité sociale (CNSS): 115 Billion Dirhams = 11 Billion US Dollars

2- Cherifian Bureau of Phosphate: 10 billion dirhams = 1 billion US Dollars

3- COMANAV (Maritime transport) : 400 million Dirhams

4- National Bureau of Transport: 20 million dirhams

5- Royal Air Maroc (RAM) : 10 million dirhams (stolen by a former director himself)

6- Bureau of profession and training: 70 million dirhams

7- Maghreb Arabe Presse (MAP): 1.76 million dirhams

Thanks for the numbers Mr. Faridios, but I have to strongly disagree with the choice of the TITLE!
THat's a sweeping statement that does not reflect at all the content of your message, which is appreciated!

Thieves of the Kind you show above are usually prosecuted and punished in the U.S...bad news is they are getting away with it in Morocco.

Thieves disguised as Executives would be more reflective.
Thanks

Morocco land of thieves, land of prostitutes, land of chaos... Sounds like Rwanda to me. Are we comparing numbers here? Because if we are, we can compare them to the most advanced countries like France or the US to measure the exageration of such an affirmation... There is and has been and will be people abusing their personal interests during their time in the office, that doesn't mean that "all the villas in Ain Diab" are built on drug money or dirty money. There are several thousands of doctors, physicians, engineers, businessman, etc.. who made a fortune out of their practice or investments or simply out of money they inherited. Let's not generalize and give the impression that somebody who succeeds has to be a robber of some kind. The goal is not to do everything to make everybody poor but to uplift the poors and give them the opportunity to form a middle class or join the rich club. There are only 2 proven ways to achieve that and that is to educate properly from the kindergarden to the university AND to provide a job opportunity at the end that is decent and rewarding. The second one is to have a good business environment that is as much "clean" as possible with laws that are followed and reinforced with an independant judiciary system. If tomorrrow, we have those 2 elements in Morocco, the country will go very far. If not, it will not take ff anytime soon.

hi again, i would totally go for education but i believe that the people that did this did in fact get an education otherwise they won't get the job. maybe i'm wrong but if than we gotta a bigger situation.
i do believe that they did what they did because they knew they ll get away with and some other people were getting a piece . if the government is indeed informed of all this, shouldn'nt been a prosecution in place.
maybe one the fellow members could inform us ...

It's shameful to see such things happning in Morocco but its more shameful what u wrote as a title to ur message it lead to understand that more than 30 millions of people are thieves and even supposing that there are thieves in Morocco, what about other countries ????! are they Land of Angels ??! come on aint no angels on earth ! and everywhere Corruption . we shouldn't span the finger of guiltiness to Morocco but to those actors of such crimes you can read the newspapers and be more specific about the subject .
