The Prosecutor General's Office of Russia has satisfied the request of the competent authorities of the Kingdom of Morocco to extradite Faysal Botlib for criminal prosecution under Articles 357, 358, 359, 540 of the Criminal Code of the Kingdom of Morocco. The criminal case against him is being handled by the prosecutor's office at the court of first instance of the said country.
According to the documents submitted, in December 2022, in the city of Fez, Kingdom of Morocco, in order to facilitate the theft, he forged a power of attorney on behalf of a representative of a commercial company, as well as other documents. Thereupon he fraudulently seized funds in the amount of more than 1 million dirhams, which in recalculation amounts to more than 6.9 million rubles.
The accused was hiding from the preliminary investigation and justice authorities of the Kingdom of Morocco on the territory of the Russian Federation. On August 13, 2024, he was detained in the Kirov region for the purpose of extradition.
The decision to extradite Botlib was made possible thanks to the high level of interaction between the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office and the competent authorities of the Kingdom of Morocco.
The extradition order was not appealed and entered into legal force, in connection with which the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service was instructed to transfer the accused to Moroccan penitentiary agents.
