~ MOROCCO'S LADY DETECTIVE ~

[HOUDA-K]

Adultery

In the latest in our series on people's daily lives, Myriam Marzak from Morocco talks about her detective agency.

I am the only woman private detective in Morocco. When I started up, people came to my office in Casablanca out of curiosity, saying: “A woman can’t do that job”.

But I have taken on all sorts of cases now, anything from finding out if someone is committing adultery to locating former employees who have stolen money from banks or insurance firms.





Secrecy

I don’t accept every case that comes my way.

If the client is after revenge, I won’t take the case on. And I won't help a man locate a woman without asking why.

Once I’ve accepted a job, I work in absolute secrecy.

Some clients aren’t very impressed with my office because I don’t have a secretary, but you can’t be too careful - I can’t have someone typing up my client's notes and then selling the information.

Know your man

Some 80% of detective school in France was about psychology - learning to read the body language and understanding the mentality of the person you’re trying to catch out.

I get to know my suspect so well that by the end I know they are going to turn left at the end of the street before they do.

We studied different cultures, to get to know their gestures, their way of thinking.

The hardest criminals I’ve tracked are the Italian Mafia, because they are so alert and so untrusting.





Undercover

Disguise is a big part of my work. I’ve worked undercover a lot.

I lived and slept in the Paris Metro for three months on a job.

I can’t tell you all the disguises I wear, but believe me, I can go unnoticed anywhere from a mosque to a brothel.

I could follow you for a whole day and you wouldn’t know it. Recently I followed someone for two months, every day.





Frustrating

What I find hard sometimes is when I’m investigating someone for one thing – perhaps someone has run off with his wife’s money - and then I discover he is also involved in paedophilia or child trafficking.

But it’s beyond the remit of my case.

I usually contact the police but often they don’t have the time or the resources to investigate, and it’s hard to sleep at night knowing that someone is getting away with this, and I’ve got all the evidence but I can’t do anything about it.
