RAM's Benhima fired after dog safety scandal

According to sources in the country, The Council of Ministers, chaired by King Mohammed VI, dismissed Benhima, who had been in post for almost ten years, for what was described as a “flagrant violation of safety regulations”.
Allegedly an amateur video showed a dog sitting among passengers on a flight from Casablanca to New York, which violated the safety regulations.
Moroccan newspapers and online websites claim that the dog belonged to the wife of a leading bank director.
This follows a controversy last month when the airline made headlines after an amateur video posted on social media showed live cockroaches inside the RAM flight from Casablanca to Montréal.
Benhima, is succeeded by Hmido Adou, who served as president of the Moroccan National Office of Tourism until 2013
