The Daniel Galvan affair, between spies and fails

In 2013, the so-called Daniel Galvan affair shook Morocco to its core.

.

The granting of a royal pardon to this convicted paedophile sentenced to thirty years in prison is not accepted.

Between the embarrassed and (sometimes) contradictory explanations of the various Spanish and Moroccan services, a bio that falls apart in the face of journalistic investigations and Mustapha Ramid’s untimely declarations that speak of “national interest”, the only thing that is certain is that it is not clear.

Crowds are in the streets, demonstrating with anger, the police is harshly repressing ordinary citizens who are just shouting their indignation, the King, whose image is suffering from the scandal, is angry and will sack officials…

Finally Daniel Galvan will be caught up in Spain. The country refuses to extradite him, but makes him serve his sentence in a local prison. Certainly in better conditions than in Morocco, and for less time than in Morocco, given the Spanish law that forbids incarcerating a person over seventy years old, once he has served 2/3 of his sentence.
