Arabic reports claim Morocco’s king filmed drunk on streets of Paris
Was Morocco’s king seen ambling drunkenly on the streets of Paris? Numerous Arabic news sites seem to think so after a short video clip purportedly showing Mohammed VI walking along a street surrounded by bodyguards.
The reports claim the king seemed inebriated. The clip ends quickly as a member of the entourage apparently hurries over to tell the cameraman to stop filming.
Consuming alcohol is forbidden by Islam, though Morocco is lenient on the issue and allows the sale of alcoholic drinks.
