Morocco: Hicham Mellouli arrested again by the police

Former police officer Hicham Mellouli has been arrested by the authorities in the city of Tangier, Morocco, for flagrantly violating the state of health emergency linked to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Morocco is not trifling with the strict violation of the state of health emergency linked to the Coronavirus pandemic, which continues to claim victims in the Cherifian kingdom. After the Moroccan singer Fatima Zahra, known as « Cheikha Trax », the ex-policeman Hicham Mellouli was arrested by the authorities of the city of Tangier for flagrant violation of the state of health emergency. He was in the company of influencer Simo Bidouh at the time of his arrest.

Former « Super Cop » Hicham Mellouli had been keeping a low profile for some time, but here he is in full violation of the state of health emergency in place to curb the spread of Covid-19. Following his arrest by the police, the former policeman was taken to the police station to be heard, reports Ahdath.info.

This is not the first time that the ex-policeman has found himself on the other side of the law. In 2018, Hicham Mellouli was sentenced to one year in prison and another year suspended for « assault, battery and attempted rape » against two girls. Finally acquitted in March 2020, he spent a total of 7 months in prison.

As a reminder, the DGSN had suspended the « super-cop » Hicham Mellouli from his duties for having repeatedly published videos of his interventions in the field on social networks.
