Taking pixs in Agadir will be difficult now.........
Hi Folks,
You remember "BELGUEL" who was posting these amazing pixs last year.
I just returned from Agadir. I was told a Belgian is in prison. But its not him.
It was in the local news, the whole town is speaking about pixs taken by foreign Sex Tourists, and time is over taking pixs from naive girls.
---------------
This is the information from an newspaper in Morocco, translated by a [url]www.systranet.com[/url] from French to English, quite funny language:
Three girls have been just condemned to sorrows going three months to two years of prison by the court of first authority of Agadir. Their crime: catch of photographs in a state of nudity, in pornographic positions. More than one ten of other girls are required for the same reasons. According to declarations' of the defendants, the photographs which had circulated on Internet for more than three months, were taken at the time of very private evenings whose director is a Belgian of the name of ******. Truth or false name? Nobody knows it. The police force was focused in its investigation into heroins of the photographs and the place of the orgies. The raid was started grace, paradoxically, with a complaint deposited by one of the condemned girls. According to its declarations with the police force, it discovered its photographs by viewing CD bought in a public trade. Outraged by its own images, it carried felt sorry for to stop the sales of the other copies of CD. Business to be followed.

But anyhow, I had some great time in Agadir again and I will post some pix soon.

Pictures of the Morrocan Babes
Its a good thing I copied all of those pictures on my hard drive before they all got deleted. They are nice for me to have on file. Maybe I might upload them in a year or so, jsut as a reminder of Begiels exploits.
Feel bad for those Morrocan women though, being put in jail and all and for the lives of the families that have to suffer through all of that unwanted pubilicity.
As far as Begiel goes, I wish him all the best. He was a good photographer though. I really do enjoy all of his pics. The ones of the table were really interesting, but with all due respect, Begiel new what he was getting into when he took all those pictures. I think he will be alot safer in the DR now. The thing about Morroco really sucks though, but I for one really do admire his guts and photographic skils.
I think I will have to take another look at those pictures now and reminise.
Tintin in Morocco (the R-rated version)
The Belguel Story, executive summary-style:
(For people not inclined to wade through endless pages of translated French)
After enjoying Belguel's Moroccan pictures on this site, two opportunistic Moroccan brothers thought this type of material would sell like greased lightning in Morocco, and decided to make & distribute a CD documenting our friend's exploits. This CD became an instant hit, selling nationwide for $5-$1.
Unfortunately, one of the CD's stars (a 42 year old teacher) recognized herself on the CD, and filed a complaint with the authorities. The Moroccan police quickly tracked down the CD's distributors + the girls involved. Many confessed and received prison sentences up to one year in a Moroccan (!!) jail.
The thing which horrified Moroccan society the most however, was that the authorities made no attempt to find or prosecute the western sex tourist. A few grassroots bloggers, in close cooperation with the daily 'Telquel', were able to track down the culprit.
Our friend Belguel allegedly turned out to be Philippe S, a respected journalist working for the Belgian daily 'Le Soir'. Until recently, he wrote lofty articles about such things like Tsunami relief and the importance of microcredits to the third world.
When the scandal finally hit Belgium (June 14), Belguel resigned from his job. While consenting, legal-age sex tourism is legal in Belgium, Moroccan authorities will file a complaint against him with the Belgian courts for the Belgian offense of 'Inciting Racial Hatred'. While the charge will probably not hold up in court, the case may force Belguel in the open, which might not be advisable as some voices within Belgium's Moroccan immigrant community have called for traditional revenge.
Our friend is however very likely to escape prosecution or harm. This cannot be said of the women in jail. Numerous Moroccan newspaper articles write that the ladies confessed after 'more intense interrogation'. Everyone knows what this means in Morocco.
Some people may want to interprete this story as a warning, and be a bit more discreet.
