“Escobar of the Sahara” Trial Postponed for Said​ Naciri ⁣and Abdel Nabi Bayoui

The⁣ trial ⁤of Said Naciri, the former president of Wydad Casablanca⁤ football club, and Abdel Nabi Bayoui has ⁣been postponed by the Casablanca Court of Appeal. ⁣ Naciri, dubbed the “Escobar of the Sahara,” faces serious charges,‌ though the ‍specific details remain somewhat shrouded in‌ mystery.
