Jonathan Harroch, the owner of the City Club sports group, has been sentenced to two years in prison by the Ain Sebaâ Criminal Court in Casablanca. Found guilty of issuing bad checks and defrauding a Jewish citizen, the businessman is now at the center of a complex legal storm with far-reaching implications.
But Harroch’s legal troubles are far from over. He remains under investigation by a judge at the Casablanca Court of Appeal, facing even more serious allegations. Authorities are probing claims of sexual exploitation and abuse of trust, with three women already testifying against him. The number of alleged victims has now risen to six, along with two women who were with him at the time of his arrest.
As part of the investigation, judicial authorities have planned confrontations between Harroch and his accusers to clarify the facts. The case is taking on a darker dimension, fueling speculation about a possible network of influence and abuse operating under the guise of his business ventures.
Harroch’s arrest came after multiple search warrants were issued against him over bounced checks totaling several million dirhams. He was apprehended in a Casablanca hotel room, where authorities found him in possession of 2.5 grams of cocaine, accompanied by two young women. This discovery adds another layer of severity to his case, potentially leading to additional charges.
As the investigation unfolds, this scandal casts a shadow over the management of City Club and the man behind it. The Moroccan justice system now faces the task of unraveling the full extent of the accusations against Harroch, whose public image has taken a dramatic fall.
