Kidnapped, tortured and held in a secret prison. The history of Mohammed Dihani, Sahrawi activist and human rights defender, looks like an action movie script. And instead it’s his experience in the field, in “close contact” with thatMoroccan Secret Service, the same intelligence catapulted itself into the center of Qatargate. The infiltration capacity of the Moroccan 007s has only come to the fore in the past few days. Still, there are those who are not at all surprised by the news from Brussels, the epicenter of the latest European scandal.
The activist’s testimony
Dinhani gave a lengthy interview to the newspaper Il Messaggero, in which he spoke at length about the Moroccan secret service. The activist has made very harsh allegations against Rabat and accused his men of using it force against him. “I was kidnapped, tortured and held in a secret prison of the Moroccan secret service. Once they even offered me money to work with them from Italy. I refused, and then they kept me in an underground prison for 7 months. However, thanks to the Italian judicial system, I was able to return here,” said Dinhani.
The activist managed to enter Italian territory and ask for international protection on July 22, after winning a long legal battle. The court in Rome ordered the Farnesina to issue the man with a visa to enter Italy within seven days through the embassy in Tunis, where Dinhani himself was staying. Who in the meantime could no longer enter our country because his name was entered in the database of Schengen Information System (SIS) even since 2010.
The Role of the Moroccan Secret Service
Dinhani has been described as “alleged terrorist that he had planned attacks on Italian territory, on the Vatican State and in Denmark”. In reality, the man had never been accused of such crimes. These labels were simply based on unspecified “correspondence classified as confidential”. The court of Rome He dismissed therefore pointed out that the classification as “confidential” could not be challenged by the judicial authority as there were no details of a state secret.
We don’t know who accused the activist of being a terrorist. Dinhani has doubts about the Moroccan secret service, even if there is no solid evidence: “They do this to Sahrawi activists in order to keep them captive in Morocco”. The man also put forward an emblematic reflection: “The troubling question is: How did Morocco Relationships with whoever runs the SIS.” According to Dinhani’s revelations, Rabay’s 007 would even be able to persuade European states to add or deactivate people in the SIS Schengen Black List.
“In 2012, the 007ers went around the jails where suspected terrorists were being held and suggested they be released immediately on condition that they go to Syria. Although they had to serve another 8 years, they offered me pay me to shut up and work with them,” the activist said.
The Shadow of Morocco
When asked more specifically about Rabat’s ‘power’ in 007, Dinhani replied that ‘Morocco is everywhere’. “That Director of Moroccan Intelligence He came in Italy more than once about suspected terrorists, but I know there was more at stake,” he stressed. The activist had asked Italy to investigate the suspicious trips by Italian parliamentarians, Italian MPs, associations and Italian MPs to Morocco from 2010 to 2016 Research institutes “which refused to listen to Zarhawi voices and only broadcast pro-government”.
Returning to the operational capacity of the Moroccan secret service, Dinhani explained that the Pegasus Spyware It was used as the “armed wing of the Moroccan 007 to blackmail Europe and the rest of the world”. “They spied on journalists and politicians for three years,” he repeated, I remember the name too Emmanuel Macron appears in the list of 50,000 phone numbers attacked by this spy software.
Espionage wasn’t enough, Dinhani believes Morocco i migrants as a weapon of bribery. “For example, when the Spanish foreign minister says he wants to support the Saharawi cause, Morocco opens its borders en masse and migrants flock to the Spanish coast,” he said. For Rabat control over Western Sahara it is fundamental from both a strategic and an economic point of view. “Rabat cannot survive with an independent Western Sahara, so it is ready to bribe anyone,” the activist concluded.
