Search warrants conducted in connection with this case led to seizing extremist books and manuscripts, bladed weapons of various sizes—including sharp and blunt instruments— as well as sums of money in Moroccan dirhams suspected of originating from criminal activities, the press release said. Similarly, search and seizure operations led to the confiscation of a balaclava, gloves and three vehicles—including two cargo vans—as well as a motorcycle, suspected of having been used to facilitate these criminal acts. Investigations and inquiries, supported by security surveillance, unveiled that the suspects, who were steeped in extremist ideology, had recently engaged in theft and burglary as part of a coordinated criminal scheme aimed at generating illicit gains. Ongoing investigations into this case are focused on uncovering the full scope of the criminal acts attributed to the suspects, establishing links between these crimes and their extremist affiliations, as well as identifying and apprehending any remaining accomplices and associates. The suspects have been placed into custody, pending further inquiries and investigations conducted by the BCIJ under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in charge of terrorism and extremism cases, the press release said.
