Biography

Mohamed Mustapha Tabet (Arabic: محمد مصطفى ثابت, 1939 – September 5, 1993), known by his nickname Hajj Policier (Arabic: حاج سليمان) or Hajj Tabet (Arabic: الحاج ثابت), was a Moroccan serial rapist and former police commissioner who was involved in the kidnapping, rapes and assaults of more than 518 girls and women in his Casablanca apartment from 1986 to 1993. 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. He was eventually convicted and sentenced to death in March 1993, and was subsequently executed by firing squad in September. As of 2026, Tabet remains the last person to be executed in Morocco.
