“Public Prosecution”: Imprisonment and fines for anyone who willfully harms his employer's funds

Yesterday, the State Prosecutor's Office published an educational video material on its social media accounts about the crime of harming public money, as part of its efforts to spread legal culture among members of society, raise their level of legal awareness, and protect them from falling into crimes and committing them.

It was stated in the published film that according to Article 227 of the Federal Penal Code, every public employee or person charged with a public service who intentionally harms the money or interests of the entity in which he works or the funds or interests of others entrusted to that body shall be punished with temporary imprisonment, as well as imprisonment and a fine not exceeding 10,000 dirhams, or either of these two penalties, every public employee or person charged with a public service who, by mistake, causes damage to the funds or interests of the entity in which he works or the funds of others or their interests entrusted to that body.

It is worth noting that the publication of these tweets comes within the framework of the Public Prosecution's ongoing campaign to enhance the legal culture among members of society and raise the level of public awareness of the law, with the aim of spreading the culture of law as a way of life, and contributing to reducing the percentage of violations resulting from ignorance of the law.
