Morocco Mole

Does 3 years in jail seem a little much for a fake Facebook account? Well if you live in Morocco, think twice about just making a joke account, because it could put in prison…

A 26-year-old engineer has been sentenced to three years in prison for creating a fake profile of the younger brother of Moroccan King Mohammed VI on the popular Internet networking site Facebook.

A court in Casablanca on Friday convicted Fouad Mourtada of “usurping the identity of HRH Prince Moulay Rachid,” and faking computer documents, the official MAP news agency reported. He was also fined $1,300.
