This is a new case that has just hit the headlines. The DGSN has announced, in a statement, legal proceedings against eight individuals accused of fraud and falsification of medical bills. On Saturday, they were all referred to the competent prosecutor near the Court of Appeal of Casablanca, by the elements of the National Brigade of the Judicial Police.
Among those prosecuted, there is a woman and the owner of a private clinic, whose involvement is presumed in this case. The charge is heavy: fraud, forgery and use of forgery in connection with medical bills.
According to the release of the DGSN, the investigation revealed the involvement of the suspects in the formation of a criminal gang to collect money from benefactors under the guise of paying the hospitalization costs of poor patients, treated in the clinic where the majority of suspects were fraudulently inflating the bills to extract large sums of money.
The research and intensive investigations conducted by the services of the National Security have led to the arrest of the main defendant, who made contact with the alleged patients and took pictures under the pretext of helping them, before using these photos to collect large donations, justified by falsified invoices and false reports and medical assessments, in complicity with his cronies, adds the same source.
The 8 suspects were subjected to the judicial investigation conducted under the supervision of the prosecutor’s office before being brought to justice, continues the statement, noting that it was decided to prosecute five of them in detention and the others at large.
