Brit jailed for ten years after buying drink in Moroccan club on final night of holiday

A British man who bought a drink on holiday in Morocco has been jailed for ten years. Oliver Andrews, from Bournemouth, was in a club on the last night of his trip to Marrakech in November before being detained by police.

The authorities accused the 29-year-old of using counterfeit money, claiming half of the holidaymaker's cash was fake. The pair were jailed by police before being convicted five months after, reports the Mirror.

Mr Andrews was accused of further charges relating to an organised crime group and creating counterfeit money but those charges were dropped by judges. The Brit claims he had no knowledge the cash used was not real.
