HIBAPRESS – Yassir El-Ihyai
Customs officers working at the "Bab Sebta" exchange office, in coordination with police officers, were able to seize a significant quantity of hallucinogenic pills today, Sunday afternoon. The pills were on their way to internal consumption before customs officers, using their individual techniques, discovered a new plan adopted by the mafia to smuggle these toxins into Morocco.
While the process of emptying the fuel tank of hallucinogenic pills is still ongoing in the presence of customs and national security officials, HIBAPRESS, through its own sources, has obtained data and information indicating that the forty-year-old smuggler, of Moroccan nationality, resides in Spain and intended to smuggle the drugs aboard a "Volkswagen" car registered abroad. It is likely that the smuggler exploited the Spanish El Clasico match to succeed in his criminal mission in his own way, thinking that the guardians of the border crossings would be preoccupied with following the match, while the agencies working at the border points realize that there is no room for complacency at all, whether on normal days or at global sporting events. The seized quantity of pills exceeded 30,000 "Rivotril 2 mg" narcotic tablets, with a material value after distribution of approximately one million dirhams in local currency. The perpetrator was arrested and the means of transport used was seized, and he was placed under custody by the instructions of the competent Public Prosecution until the completion of the investigations being conducted by the police to uncover the possible extensions of this criminal network.
