In a further escalation of smuggling methods, the cocaine mafia has resorted to the use of submarines as an innovative means of transporting drug shipments across the Mediterranean Sea, exploiting the location of occupied Melilla as a major center of these criminal activities.
This method, which combines high technology and complete anonymity, has become one of the most advanced methods used by smuggling networks, presenting security services with unprecedented challenges.
According to Heba Press sources, these networks use advanced submarines, some of which are equipped with autonomous driving systems, to transport large quantities of cocaine between different regions of the Mediterranean, up to occupied Melilla, where operations smuggling are facilitated.
This method is believed to provide networks with a high level of privacy and the ability to avoid detection by maritime patrols or surveillance devices.
Melilla, a major starting point for drug trafficking, has become the center of attention of security authorities due to its strategic geographic location, which contributes to the transport of drugs to Morocco and other countries.
Submarines represent a paradigm shift in smuggling operations, as they can bypass traditional barriers and avoid routine inspection routes, making it more difficult for authorities to combat these activities.
As these methods expand, the need to strengthen security and intelligence efforts to confront this dangerous phenomenon increases, particularly in the occupied Melilla region.
The fight against cocaine trafficking across the Mediterranean remains dependent on the development of more advanced surveillance technologies and more effective international coordination to stop the spread of these criminal activities.
