RABAT, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- An investigation into alleged "insult" against the Moroccan flag by a French citizen resident in Morocco has been launched, the Moroccan police said in a statement on Wednesday.
A short video that an elderly French citizen wearing nothing but draping the Moroccan flag around his waist were drinking wine and dancing on a table in front of guests went viral earlier this week, stirring outcry among Moroccans on social media.
According to the police statement, an investigation is underway to determine the ins and outs of the criminal acts as well as the circumstances of the shooting and promotion.
The suspect will be transferred to the competent prosecutor's office as soon as the inquiry is completed, it noted. Enditem
