Attijariwafa Bank Takes Legal Action Against Defamatory Allegations, Turns to Spanish Courts
In a decisive move, the banking group Attijariwafa Bank has announced its intention to pursue legal action against those responsible for disseminating blatantly false, slanderous, and defamatory statements about the group and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mohamed El Kettani. The bank has declared its unwavering determination to act firmly against any individual or entity engaging in such unlawful conduct.
Recently, entirely false and misleading information has been circulating regarding an alleged conversation between the President of Attijariwafa Bank, Mr. Mohamed El Kettani, and public figures in Spain, within the context of baseless claims concerning supposed banking operations and commercial relations among the various parties involved.
These accusations are wholly unfounded, as no relationship exists between the mentioned individuals, Attijariwafa Bank, and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and no such exchange has ever taken place.
Attijariwafa Bank vehemently condemns these attempts to tarnish its reputation and that of its executives based on completely false and fabricated information. The bank emphasizes that respect for ethics and integrity lies at the core of its values, and it will not tolerate any form of defamation or slander against its institution and its executives.
Consequently, Attijariwafa Bank has decided to file criminal charges through the law firm Fuster-Fabra Abogados and employ all available legal means to defend its honor and protect the reputation of itself and its executives. The bank is confident that the courts will shed light on this matter and identify those responsible for these malicious acts.
Attijariwafa Bank assures its clients, partners, and all stakeholders of its determination to conduct its activities in accordance with the strictest ethical and professional standards, as well as the applicable regulations, and to bring defamers to justice.
