FAQ
Frequently asked questions: criminal law and business crime
What are the penalties for a bounced cheque in Morocco?
Issuing a cheque without sufficient funds is punishable by one to five years' imprisonment and a fine of 2,000 to 10,000 dirhams, which may not be less than 25% of the amount of the cheque (art. 316 of the Commercial Code), in addition to a banking ban. Prompt regularisation and a tailored defence make a considerable difference to the outcome.
Am I entitled to a lawyer in police custody?
Yes. The Code of Criminal Procedure guarantees the right to communicate with a lawyer from the start of police custody, a right strengthened by the recent reform of criminal procedure. The firm attends the police station or the gendarmerie.
