After a series of hearings, Moroccan YouTuber Mohamed Sekkaki, known as Moul Kaskita, was sentenced, Thursday, to four years in prison. Quoting his lawyers, Arabic-language Alyaoum24 said that the ruling had shocked his family and wife. On a Facebook Live stream, Mohamed Sekkai's wife confirmed the sentence, adding that her husband was fined 40,000 dirhams. Moul Kaskita was arrested on December 1, 2019, one day after he posted a video on his YouTube channel. The prosecutor had charged Moul Kaskita for «insulting the public, obscene behavior, drug possession and contempt of constitutional institutions». Several complaints were lodged against the YouTuber because of said video. The Complaints have allegedly been withdrawn later. Last week, his lawyer Souad Brahma said that his client was facing an additional charge : «insulting the King».
