The Minister of Justice: A political extending seeking to demolish the draft criminal ruler

Abdel -Latif Wehbe, Minister of Justice, said today, Thursday, that he can understand with the legal actor, but he can only confront with the political actor “who insists on searching for political angles to explain the legal text, while the first (legal) actor is keen to preserve the angle of his eyesight”, considering that the discussion in Parliament on the project of the criminal procedure “takes a political trend and also takes a legal trend in seizures and consequences Study.

Wehbe stressed, during a study day organized by the majority teams in the House of Representatives on “the developments of bill No. 03.23 to change and complete law No. 22.01 related to the criminal ruler in the light of societal transformations”, that he will not satisfy the political actor at the expense of the legal interest of the text, and added: “He can express his opinion as he wants, but what matters to me is the legal system of the text and the keenness to ensure fair trial.”

The minister continued: “I do not embarrass the discussion of the law because the discussion raises the value of the text,” adding that “the problem is that the legal seeks to improve the law, and the politician seeks to improve his position and its location.” I am convinced that a legal text can only be corrected by law, away from the logic of slogans. ”

The Minister of Justice also pointed out that the detailed discussion of the project of the criminal ruler within the Justice, Legislation and Human Rights Committee in the first parliamentary room “was in its novice, pure political, before it ends in its legal form in the end.” But it eventually meets me in the legal debate, and this is exactly what happened. ”

The government official asked: “Does the criminal procedure guarantee a fair trial?”, Answering: “The matter is not necessarily related to the text on its own, but rather the extent of openness of the judges and the strength of the lawyers and their capabilities and the extent of their ability to improve the text with discussion. The text alone remains an orphan and without any service that it can do; He is dry, the judge and the lawyer can only give him a different life? I don’t know. ”

And the minister indicated that “the responsibility of the administration is to provide material capabilities, so this same text may be unable to apply,” noting that “at the present time the digital data offices in various Moroccan courts are prepared”, as it is clear that it “includes closed secret computers that are directly subject to the authority of the public prosecutor of the king, and he is responsible for a group of state institutions and banks”, and added: He can see the means of proof against a person, but the Public Prosecution is preparing and presenting them.

Wehbe continued: “The dispute over this issue is still standing today,” noting that “other questions were raised regarding whether the lawyer has the right to request a specific document from these offices to defend himself or his client, or a document to prove something?” He said: “There is a set of problems in implementation that this project will encounter. And I hope that the minister, who will come after me, will absorb that the implementation of these requirements necessarily needs financial capabilities that he must be keen to obtain.
