Moroccan Locals Reveal Penalties for Crimes and Perceptions of Safety in Marrakech
Marrakech Locals Discuss Legal Penalties and Life in Morocco Marrakech, Morocco – A recent video circulating online features a Spanish content creator interviewing several local residents in Marrakech about various aspects of life and law in the city. The interviews shed light on the perceived severity of legal penalties for common crimes and offer insights into social dynamics. When questioned about the punishment for stealing a mobile phone, one local, Oussama, stated, "Here, 10 years." Another interviewee, Anuar, provided a slightly different perspective, suggesting, "It's 8 months and more, one year, two." For assaulting another person, Oussama indicated a penalty of "three weeks, four weeks." The topic of drug trafficking also emerged, with Oussama explaining that penalties range from "5 years, 10 years, it depends on how many kilos, how many grams." This suggests a tiered system based on the quantity involved. Regarding the safety of living in Marrakech, Sala, a local merchant, affirmed, "Yes, very much so. Very tranquil." Anuar echoed this sentiment, stating that it's "better than in Spain" in terms of safety. The legality of alcohol consumption was also addressed. Anuar confirmed that it is "not legal" for locals to consume alcohol publicly, with the penalty being "two days in jail." When asked about the justice system's fairness, Anuar responded, "Yes, very good." Finally, the interviewer inquired why many Moroccans migrate to Spain. Hamed explained, "Because there are no good lives here. Many people don't work." This highlights economic factors as a significant driver for emigration.
