A French influencer was sentenced to one year in prison in Marrakech, Morocco, on June 24, 2026, after being found guilty of defaming police officers. The charges stemmed from social media posts in which she accused officers of corruption.
The court in Marrakech ruled that the influencer's statements were defamatory and undermined public order. The sentence includes a fine of 10,000 Moroccan dirhams (approximately $1,000).
The influencer, whose name has not been publicly released by authorities, was arrested earlier this month following a complaint by the police union. Her defense lawyer indicated they plan to appeal the verdict.
