Five taxi drivers in Tetouan, Morocco, have been sentenced to six months in prison and fined 10,000 dirhams each. The convictions relate to assisting irregular migration following recent events in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave bordering Morocco. The drivers, operating larger taxis, were found guilty of aiding migrants who crossed into Ceuta. This sentencing has sparked widespread anger and discontent among taxi professionals in Morocco. Sources indicate the charges stem directly from the influx of migrants into Ceuta, which occurred amidst a diplomatic dispute between Morocco and Spain. The ruling highlights Morocco’s efforts to control migration flows and punish those facilitating illegal border crossings. The case raises questions about the extent to which taxi drivers were involved and the fairness of the sentences.
