Accused of embezzlement takes advantage of a woman's ignorance of the Arabic language and tries to defraud her

A convict not only embezzled 770,000 dirhams from an (Asian) investor, but tried to defraud her, taking advantage of her lack of knowledge of the Arabic language, and dragging her to sign a settlement agreement before the notary, and brought her a paper to sign, and handed her 179,000 dirhams, and because she does not know Arabic. , I asked the receptionist about the content of the document, and I told her that he had completely waived her complaint against him in return for the amount she had received, so she fled the place with the amount she had obtained and the paper, and did not hand it to him.

In detail, the misdemeanour court ruled in his presence to imprison the accused for three months on the charge of embezzlement, and to expel him from the state, which prompted him to appeal the verdict before the Court of Appeal. It is 591 thousand dirhams, after deducting the amount he paid to the victim when they went to the notary public.

In addition, the accused appealed against the appeal ruling before the Court of Cassation, noting that he did not receive 770,000 dirhams from the victim, but rather 230,000 dirhams in exchange for a commercial transaction, which is the purchase of pistachios, and he signed exchange bonds from the company affiliated with it. After he imported it for her benefit, she refused to receive it, stressing the unreasonableness of the incident.

For its part, the Court of Cassation rejected the appeal, attributing this to the fact that the contested ruling revealed the contention of the trial court with the statements of the victim, the witness of the evidence, and the correctness of their depiction of the incident, as well as the confession of the accused himself. The picture that has settled in the certainty of the court is just an objective debate.

The court explained that the incident, according to its certainty, was that the accused had obtained an amount of 770,000 dirhams to implement a commercial transaction, represented in the purchase of pistachios, but he seized the amount for himself.
