The "Bab Sebta" occupied border crossing is witnessing an unprecedented state of alert at this moment. Following a routine inspection by customs officials, a firearm and ammunition were seized from Spaniards who had previously entered national territory via Tangier Med.
Officials from all security services and local authorities rushed to the scene after being notified of the discovery of the firearm. Investigations are currently underway with the detainees to verify its source and whether it entered national territory through the port of Tangier Med.
The investigations being conducted by the competent authorities also aim to determine the purpose of possessing this firearm and ammunition, especially since the suspects found with them are Spanish tourists.
The presence of weapons in the possession of foreigners in Morocco is always linked to settling scores, usually due to international drug trafficking or more complex and revenge-driven situations.
Until the situation surrounding this case becomes clear, we will keep you updated on the latest developments and the outcomes of the ongoing investigations, which are proceeding at full speed up to this moment.
