Summary:On September 5 1966, the so-called Ben-Barka trial opened in Paris. Ben-Barka, the opposition leader in Morocco, was kidnapped on a crowded Paris boulevard the previous October - and disappeared. The case became France's top scandal and brought relations with Morocco to a new low level. One of those who went on trial in absentia was the Moroccan Interior Minister. Another was his Chief of Police.
