Allegations have surfaced that Morocco attempted to infiltrate Algeria's National People's Assembly (APN) with a mole for the upcoming legislative term. The claims, which have not been independently verified, suggest that a Moroccan agent was allegedly recruited to gather intelligence within the Algerian parliament.
Morocco's government has categorically denied these accusations, calling them baseless and part of a smear campaign. In an official statement, the Moroccan Foreign Ministry stated that such allegations are 'unfounded and aim to harm the bilateral relations between the two countries.'
Algerian authorities have not officially commented on the matter. The APN is Algeria's lower house of parliament, and any infiltration would be a serious breach of national security. However, no concrete evidence has been presented to support the claims.
This incident comes amid ongoing tensions between Morocco and Algeria, which have been strained over issues including the Western Sahara dispute and regional influence. Both countries have accused each other of espionage in the past, but these latest allegations remain unsubstantiated.
As of June 7, 2026, no further developments have been reported. The story continues to be monitored by regional analysts, who caution against drawing conclusions without verified information.
