"Live" Theft on Hit Radio: Momo Prosecuted and Granted Bail

"Live" Theft on Hit Radio: Momo Prosecuted and Granted Bail The
prosecutor of the Criminal Court of Aïn Sebaâ in Casablanca has
decided to pursue Mohamed Bousfiha, also known as "Momo," the host
of Hit Radio, in a state of freedom on bail of 100,000 dirhams. He
is accused of participating in the intentional dissemination of
false information. This case began after Hit Radio aired a video in
which a listener claimed to have been the victim of a phone theft
during a call, also accusing the police of non-intervention. The
security authorities in Casablanca initiated a thorough
investigation, which revealed that the caller had actually
fabricated a fictitious theft in collaboration with a third party
in order to boost the radio station's audience and derive personal
benefits. The ongoing police investigations, conducted in
coordination with the General Directorate of National Territory
Surveillance, have also led to the prosecution of two other
individuals for their involvement in fabricating a fictional crime,
insulting an organization, and spreading false information. The
second accomplice involved in these criminal acts has been
arrested, and it has been revealed that he has previously committed
several similar falsification operations in the past. It is
important to note that the prosecutor has granted Momo bail,
allowing him to remain in a state of freedom during the legal
proceedings. The decision to pursue him in a state of freedom with
a cautionary measure reflects the prosecutor's assessment that he
does not pose a flight risk or a threat to public safety. This case
highlights the importance of responsible journalism and the
consequences of intentionally disseminating false information. The
authorities are committed to upholding the law and ensuring that
individuals who manipulate public perception for personal gain are
held accountable. As the investigation continues, it remains to be
seen how this case will unfold and what legal actions will be taken
against those involved in this "live" theft on Hit Radio.
