According to Abdul Ghani, the child is the son of his brother and likes to sit with them, and he was not forced or incited to consume the drink; rather, he himself requested it, but they ensured that the soft drink was substituted for “alcohol.”
Abdul Ghani considered what he did to be not serious, admitting to consuming alcohol from time to time but emphasized that he drinks at home without harming anyone.
Arrest of One Person and Search for Another
For its part, the security services confirmed that information provided by the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance led to uncovering the truth behind the video “inciting a child to consume alcohol,” stressing that the child is the son of the brothers who appeared in the video.
As part of the investigations, the main suspect in the incident was arrested after the police reacted to the circulating video, which showed two individuals inciting a minor to consume a substance suspected of being alcoholic, where their identities were determined and one was arrested during a security operation carried out in the “Khasama Malin Al-Wad” area near the city of Benslimane, in coordination with the relevant royal gendarmerie forces.
Preliminary investigations also revealed that the suspects are brothers and that the child victim of this incident is the son of their third brother, who is six years old, with one of them already arrested and full identification of the second brother established in anticipation of his arrest as well.
