The religious leader was arrested on Wednesday by gendarmerie elements, who caught him, along with a married woman, in a rather compromising position inside a vehicle. They were in a rather secluded area, away from prying eyes.
The two lovers, caught in the act, were taken into custody and will be prosecuted for adultery.
To read:
The Moroccan Penal Code, in its Article 491, provides for a prison sentence of one to two years for adultery. It also stipulates that adultery can only be prosecuted if the spouse of one of the parties files a complaint.
