Elements of the Judicial Police Department in Tangier, in coordination with the services of the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance, managed to arrest six people, one of whom has a criminal record, on the afternoon of Friday, January 30, for suspicion of their involvement in a network of international drug and psychotropic substance smuggling.
The suspects were arrested in a neighborhood in Tangier, while they were preparing to carry out an international drug smuggling operation. The arrest and search operations carried out in this case resulted in the seizure of 75 kilograms of hashish and a set of tools and equipment used in its compression and packaging, in addition to a sum of 2,310,000 dirhams suspected to be proceeds from this criminal activity. The search operations also led to the seizure of a group of cars, motorcycles, trucks, and trailers, which are suspected of being used in the commission of these criminal acts as well as facilitating this criminal activity. The suspects have been subjected to a judicial investigation, which is being conducted under the supervision of the competent Public Prosecutor's Office, in order to determine the remaining possible extensions of this criminal activity and to uncover all the criminal acts attributed to those concerned.
