The GNR dismissed the hit-and-run hypothesis in the death of a Moroccan man, but the Judicial Police refused to investigate the case. Two PSP agents are accused of kidnapping and killing the man.

The two PSP agents began being tried this Tuesday at the Faro Court. The trial proceeds without the defendants present in the courtroom.

The case allegedly involves the kidnapping and homicide of a Moroccan citizen. The police investigation followed a controversial course, with the GNR initially dismissing the hypothesis of a crime.
