Moroccan authorities have launched an investigation into suspicious financial flows involving Moroccans living abroad (MRE) and casinos, following information transmitted by Spanish financial control bodies. The probe involves the Customs and Indirect Taxes Administration and the Exchange Office, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The investigation focuses on cash transfers that may be linked to money laundering or tax evasion, using casinos as intermediaries. Spanish authorities flagged unusual patterns of cash movements from MREs to Moroccan casinos, prompting the inquiry.
As of July 19, 2026, no arrests have been made, and the investigation is in its early stages. The Moroccan government has not issued an official statement, but the case highlights ongoing efforts to combat financial crime.
