Following the emergence of a video on Youtube and Facebook showing, at least, 3 Moroccan policemen forcing a Spanish tourist to Morocco to bribe them in order to get back his passport, local reports said that the National Security authorities arrested the officers in question after they visualized the video, further noting that an investigation was opened. The video went viral among Moroccans, with most internet users condemning what they called “a heinous act.” It is worth reminding that the police officers also asked the tourist for alcoholic beverages and some Euros, before receiving 50Dhs.
