Police have identified four suspects in an investigation into the alleged theft of banking data used to withdraw money from victims’ accounts, a security source said.
The investigation began after several people complained that their banking information had been compromised and subsequently used to make withdrawals.
Police inquiries led investigators to four people suspected of links to the operation.
One man, who has multiple previous convictions, was arrested and referred to the public prosecutor’s office on Thursday after being held in police custody.
A second suspect was found to be already in prison in Marrakech over separate online fraud and scam cases.
Police are continuing their investigation to establish the circumstances of the alleged fraud and identify any other people who may have been involved.
