[1][2] The case became one of the most egregious examples of police corruption and sexual abuse in the country, as Tabet used his status to dismiss and cover-up evidence of his crimes.

[7][5] In 1982, he was the head of the RG in Ben M'sick – Sidi Othmane before being relocated to Aïn Sebaâ – Hay Mohammadi.

[4] Tabet had also gained infamy amongst locals due to the numerous complaints lodged against him, predominantly by young women and girls, that he had approached them in his car, kidnapped and raped them at his apartment.

[4] According to an indictment filed against Tabet, he admitted to "[regularly having gone] to the gates of schools, faculties, or simply walked the main boulevards" with the sole aim of "hunting his prey".

Once his victims were in his car, he would take them directly to his apartment, where the girls gave themselves up, willingly or unwillingly, to his overflowing sexual appetite.

[10] The indictment noted a specific incident where Tabet allegedly forced three women from the same family, a mother, her daughter, and her 15-year-old niece, to sleep with him.

[10][11] Tabet had filmed most of his assaults, confessing to having spent over 5,000 dirham per month on prostitutes, male and female, and producing videotapes which he allegedly sold overseas.

[9] Tabet used his position to cover-up his crimes, and his colleagues in the police force often destroyed any evidence to prevent charges being brought against him.

In 1990, a woman and her girlfriend were reported to have filed a complaint for rape and kidnapping to local police in the Hay Mohammadi district of Casablanca against someone calling themselves "Hajj Hamid".

[6] "Hajj Hamid" allegedly told the women that the act was videotaped and promised to give them a copy by Eid al-Fitr.

[6][4] In August 1992, a Moroccan student in Milan identified a person resembling his sister while watching a pornographic video cassette with his friends.

[4] Following his release the next day, the student rented a new car and "kidnapped" his sister en route to Hajj's house.

Prime Minister Abdellatif Filali received a copy of the video and forwarded it to the King Hassan II.

[4] During the raid, they found and seized two remote control video cameras, two microphones hidden under the bed, identity cards of women, cocaine, 118 video tapes featuring victims having intercourse with Tabet, sometimes with other men, and a list consisting of the names and addresses of dozens of women on Tabet's computer.

The trial was held in camera during Ramadan, and he was charged with "indecent assault, defloration, rape with violence, abduction, and sequestration of a married woman, acts of barbarism and incitement to debauchery, falsification and destruction of evidence" in front of the Criminal Chamber of the Court of Appeal in Casablanca.

[6][9] At his trial, he admitted to the authenticity of the tapes, claimed that he had intercourse with up to 1,500 women and that at least 10 of the city's supervisors and other senior police officers had aided in destroying evidence, despite this, Tabet argued that the victims were either willing participants or prostitutes.

[9] Islamic fundamentalist groups denounced the verdict, demanding death by stoning or crucifixion rather than firing squad.

[25] On September 5, 1993, six months after his trial, at Kenitra Central Prison, Tabet was woken up by the call to Fajr prayer.

[4] After praying, he was taken by Gendarmes to a car under the pretext that he would be transferred to another detention center, instead, he was taken to a forest area and tied to a pole.

A magistrate approved his execution on the spot and asked Tabet to recite the Shahada, the Islamic testimony of faith.
