We all know someone who has been a victim of real estate fraud. Nice apartment in Al Hoceima, Nador, Tangier or somewhere else for a nice price. Investing in a luxury real estate project with guaranteed profit. Everything looked beautiful on paper.
But then reality turns out to be hell! That nice apartment turns out to be a badly constructed building where the cracks are already in the walls before it’s finished or even worse, there’s not even a pole in the ground. The same goes for the real estate project you have invested in.
Who is responsible? Where to be? Where can you complain? How are you going to get your money back? Who is going to pay for all the travel and lawyer expenses? A lot of misery awaits you and it turns out that beautiful Morocco is a monster.
A group of British citizens, including some of Moroccan descent, have been through the same thing and have been trying for 12 years now to achieve justice in the land of injustice.
Key figure in this nightmare is Larbi Tadlaoui who, as an accomplice of the Moroccan regime, has made a lot of victims with his company for years. Mr. Tadlaoui works for projects launched by the king. In January 2016 he was ‘arrested’ in Morocco and released on 31 May 2017. During his detention, his business partner Mr. Guang Huang continued with the real estate fraud.
Mr. Tadlaoui has been staying in Spain for some time now, presumably near Marbella, and in the meantime his victims are still facing against a wall of injustice.
Their advice is to everyone:
DON’T INVEST A PENNY IN MOROCCO!
Below is a short summary of their story with below the link to their website for more information about their situation.
“In 2006, the Moroccan government gave land to the development company Atlantic Beach Paradise Resort SARL for the construction of an 18-hole Steve Ritson design golf course, swimming pools and about 400 attractive apartments and villas (a project of 45 million pounds). The property is located between Asilah (a beautiful Moorish town) and Tangier overlooking the beach.
The development has been promoted in numerous marketing brochures/websites as part of ‘Vision 2010’ – the project of King Mohammed VI – which would bring thousands of new tourists to Morocco. Off-plan properties were bought by up to 800 investors from different countries.”

The attack on the aircraft of the King of Morocco 1972 (part 15)
Omar el Khattabi, documentary by NPS, Abdel Krim: legend or freedom fighter? 1999 On 10 July 1971, the Moroccan army carried out a failed coup against the king in the palace of Skhirat. The following year airmen made a new coup, this time the plane of King Hassan II, on his return from France, was attacked in the air by jet fighters.
In the near future the Amazigh Information Centre will reconstruct this historical event with short articles. We will do so on the basis of testimonies from people who have experienced this event, such as the fighter pilot Salah Hachad, books by critical authors such as Gilles Perrault, Stephen Smith and various newspaper articles.
Mohamed ben Abdelkrim Khattabi in La Réunion Torture of Omar el Khattabi
Omar el Khattabi was born in 1926 on board the boat that took the whole family of Abdelkrim el Khattabi to the exile on the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean, almost nine thousand kilometres away from the Rif. Omar is a son of Abdeslam el Khattabi, uncle of the resistance hero Mohamed ben Abdelkrim Khattabi who founded the first Rif Republic in the 1920s. He was exiled after Spain, France and Morocco won the war against the Rif Republic. A battle in which the Rif was bombed on a large scale with poison gas.Omar el Khattabi attended secondary school in La Réunion together with the lawyer, activist and anti-colonialist Jacques Vergès and Raymond Barre, who will become Prime Minister of France and with whom he has remained friends. Omar el Khattabi completed his medical studies in Switzerland and returned to Morocco in the early 1960s to settle there for good. He stayed in the city of Kenitra where he worked as a doctor, first in a state hospital, later he opened a private clinic where he met the Riffian officers Mohamed Amekrane and Louafi Kouera, with whom he became friends.
The Moroccan media claim that Omar el Khattabi would be appointed president, if the 1972 coup succeeded. An agreement would have been made with the Moroccan socialist party USFP to clear the way for a republic in Morocco after the coup of general Oufkir. However, there is no evidence to support this assertion, nor is there any credible testimony.
After the execution of his friends Amekrane and Kouera in January 1973, Omar el Khattabi financially supported Amekran’s widow and her children, who fled to the Federal Republic of Germany, through his friend ‘engineer Temsamani’ who acted as an intermediary. Lieutenant-Colonel Amekrane’s family received a monthly amount of money from the Riffians.
In May 1973 Omar el Khattabi was arrested together with his friend the ‘engineer Temsamani’ by the Moroccan police in Tiṭṭawin (Tetouan) on charges of attempting to blow up a number of locations. At the police station Derb Moulay Chrif in Casablanca, known as the secret detention centre, Omar Khattabi was physically and mentally tortured, he was hanged for more than three weeks, until he fell on his back. He broke his spine and hip. In 1974 he was released and placed under house arrest for a year, losing a lot of weight and being unable to walk for a while. He never recovered and will continue to suffer for the rest of his life.
In 1996, he founded the Abdelkrim el Khattabi Foundation for Studies, Research and Documentation: this organisation was never recognised by the Moroccan authorities. Omar el Khattabi died of an illness in 2006.

Former Moroccan police officer intents to file a law suite against the king of Morocco
Mohamed VI king of Morocco The Spanish Legal Code laws for foreign judicial accusations to be treated and sentenced in Spain. The new Spanish minister of Justice Dolores Delgado publicly announced that the universal jurisdiction would be reactivated, so the with universal jurisdiction the Spanish judges could investigate severe crimes committed outside Spanish territory. It would also be possible for Spanish judges to charge high-powered Moroccan functionaries that are accused of violating human rights and they could be sentenced by the Spanish Courts.
With the universal jurisdiction you can lodge charges at the National High Court in Madrid, the Audiencia Nacional, to demand justice against crimes committed in other countries if the proof of their accusations has been provided. These people can be sentenced according to the Spanish judicial system.
Noureddine Boufarra, a former Moroccan police officer within the inspection department, announced through a Facebook post on 18th of June 2018 that he would use the universal Spanish jurisdiction to file a suite against the king of Morocco.
Noureddine Boufarra former police officer An assassination attempt in Europe
The 49-year-old Boufarra holds the king of Morocco responsible for the assassination attempt in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, that he managed to flee to in 2017. According to Boufarra, 4 men tried to kill him in the capital city. Three of those men would be agents of the Moroccan secret service (DGED) and the fourth was recognized as a Syrian or Iraqi. The son of Boufarra, who was with him during the assassination attempt, still suffers psychologically from the effects of the murder attempt. Boufarra could not provide further details on the case because it is still open. He is now placed under police protection provided by the country in which he filed for asylum.
Boufarra was active as a Police officer in Nador until 2012. He worked on drug trafficking networks, illegal weapons trade and fraud cases. He and his team have seized 19 kg of heavy explosives and 600 igniters used for mailbombs. The explosives were smuggled from the Spanish enclave Melilla to Nador and were suspected to be used for an attack on a hotel that is located in a shopping center in Nador. The seizing of Boufarra led to the denouncement of some secret service agents because they did not notice and trace the illegal material.
Boufarra had reported on this smuggling case names of involved people and number plates that were used. The report was personally sent to the supervisor of Boufarra. According to the former officer, nothing was done with the report because the trafficking had links to the palace.
Embezzlement in the Rif orchestrated from Rabat
According to the former officer Boufarra, the Moroccan Palace is involved in international drug trafficking via the advisor of the king Fouad El Himma, head of the PAM party Ilyas el Omari and their contacts with international mafia groups of which he knows all their full names but won’t make public, as the Moroccan secret services could use the mafia groups as a scapegoat for his disappearing in case that he would provide the names.
Boufarra holds the Moroccan regime responsible for the fraud and embezzlement of money from a bank in Nador in 2003. The embezzlement in that bank started in 2001 when around 3 billion Moroccan Dirhams were taken from bank accounts owned by Riffians in Morocco and Europe of which many Dutch and Belgian Riffians drug lords used the accounts for money laundering. All these accounts were managed by the Wafa Bank in Nador. Boufarra was responsible for the investigation of this fraud case. After six years of thorough investigations, Boufarra acquired information he was not supposed nor allowed to know. The classified information that concerned the relations between embezzlement and several people within the royal palace. In this case, the director of the Wafa Bank in Nador and his deputy were prosecuted. Boufarra informed the king’s attorney Abdelmoumen Boutnach about the fact that the actual suspects are not in Nador but were working within the central board of directors of the involved bank in the capital Rabat. Because of that Boufarra found himself in a death zone from that moment onwards.

Because of that Boufarra found himself in a death zone from that moment onwards.
Detective trapped
Boufarra was tipped about a large drug smuggling operation from Bouarg (in the Region of Nador) to Spain. Further investigation has led to a confirmation of the tipped case. Subsequently, a police operation was planned and a team was constructed to arrest the drug traffickers after catching them in the act. Part of the operation was to have an arrestation team stand-by close to the location of the traffickers and to block the road during the police operation.
On the day of the operation execution officer, Boufarra went to observe the trafficking facility from a close distance with four colleagues. He could immediately recognize trafficking activities and thus called his supervisor, regional chef Driss Rougui. Driss was not reachable, while Boufarra tried to call him several times. His supervisor had his phone turned off any Boufarra could not call for additional supporting units. Shortly after the attempted calls, he saw some of the involved drug traffickers walking towards him. At that moment, he knew it was a trap to get rid of him via the traffickers. He immediately ordered his colleagues to leave the area as he did himself directly after that.
Commissioner Abdellah Bellahfid According to Boufarra, his own chef had forsaken him so that the drug traffickers could get rid of him if he was not able to protect himself. Driss Rougui did not work alone but with the help of the chief commissioner Abdellah Bellahfid of the police (DGSN) in Oujda, chief commissioner of the internal secret service (DGST) Mohamed Alaoui in Oujda and regional chef of the internal secret service Mohamed Zah Eddine (DGST) in Oujda. According to Boufarra, these high secret service functionaries had received an order from the palace to erase him in an indirect manner.
Murder attempt on the underage son of Boufarra in Morocco
After the previous events, Boufarra was threatened by a drug baron with vengeance on his son. In 2012 the underage son of Boufarra was attacked in Oujda. The attack resulted in a head wound consisting of a 7 cm long, 3 cm wide and 4 cm deep cut.
Subsequently, Boufarra was fired and marked as AWOL. He was not even sent to the council before firing him with an AWOL mark attached. He brought his dismissal to the courthouse in Oujda which resulted in the judge deciding in his favour. The employer of Boufarra, the DGSN, the Moroccan security service, went for an appeal against the statements made by Boufarra in court and falsified documents to prove the case against him. According to Boufarra, this led to the elimination of the verdict that was given in the courthouse in Oujda and finally to his definitive discharge.
According to Boufarra, he was kidnapped by Moroccan authorities and tortured in the secret detention center of the DGST in Temara. For a period of 23 days he experienced the worst days of his life during which he was subjected to systematic tortures: electric shocks on the head, waterboarding, being filmed naked, rape intimidations, the insertion of plastic and wooden objects in his anus, hanging while being forced to drink water mixed with soap and chlorine, forced sleep deprivation etc. This kidnap took place 5 days before his leave permit would be activated. In case he talked about the happenings in Temara he would be killed and it would be untruthfully stated and messaged that he would have left Morocco to cover his case. This has been done many times with previous cases.
In the year of 2013, Boufarra fled to Europe where he requested asylum and where he still resides until this day.
Charging high functionaries
Abdellatif Hammouchi director of the DGSN and DGST The ex-police officer reported that he has access to proof to not only make a judicial case against the King of Morocco Mohamed VI but also the kings councillor Fouad Ali El Himma, the kings private secretary Mounir El Majjdi, director of police (DGSN) and secret service (DGST) Abdellatif Hammouchi, director of the DGED secret service Mohamed Yassine Mansouri, director of the judicial police and the Interpol bureau in Morocco Mohammed Dkhissi, president of the Tanger-Al Hoceima region and general secretary of the PAM party Ilyas El Omari, the regional chief of the domestic secret service (DGST) in Oujda Mohamed Zah Eddine, head of commission of the internal affairs secret service (DGST) Mohamed Alaoui and the commissioner of police (DGSN) in Oujda Abdellah Bellahfid.
Boufarra has made it clear he will sue the three people that have personally tortured him.
The King of Morocco
Mohamed Yassine Mansouri director of the DGED It is highly unlikely that a DGED (Moroccan Foreign Secret service) director can decide on the execution of a ‘target take-out’ located in a foreign country on his own. Such an operation must be negotiated with the total executive body of the Safety Council. This body is the main panel that deals with al security-related operations linked to Morocco.
In article 54 of the Moroccan constitution, the creation of a Safety Council was incorporated in 2011 and organized as an advisory body to be focused on domestic and foreign strategies concerning crisis management and supervision to make sure the correct safety policies were executed by civil servants in function of the Moroccan state. The king of Morocco himself, Mohamed VI is the head of the Safety Council.
