Vendredi 4 Mars 2016

Rabat - The leader of the criminal gang, whose members were arrested on February 23rd for their involvement in the theft of jewelry in Dakhla, planned to use the spoils to join IS in Iraq and Syria to get combat experience before returning to Morocco to carry out destructive schemes, the Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation (BCIJ) said Thursday.

Moroccan security services busted, on February 23rd, a six-member criminal gang for their involvement in the theft of jewelry in the southern city of Dakhla, during which they seized large quantities of jewelry, BCIJ said in a statement.

BCIJ investigation with members of this criminal gang revealed that the leader of the gang held secret meetings in his home in Dakhla during which he managed to instill in his accomplices ISIS extremist ideas and convinced them of the legitimacy of their schemes, the source said.

The gang leader also planned to use this money to fund his trip to ISIS camps to get a field combat experience before returning to the Kingdom to carry out destructive schemes, added BCIJ.
