Police officers in the Agadir security department, in coordination with the services of the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance, managed, on Tuesday, March 24, to arrest three people, including a woman and two people with a criminal record, on suspicion of their connection to a criminal network active in organizing illegal immigration and human trafficking.
The suspects were arrested in the city of Agadir, while they were preparing to carry out an illegal immigration operation through maritime routes, for the benefit of 25 candidates for clandestine immigration, including seven women and three minors, who were arrested in different places in the city of Agadir and in the rural area of "Sidi Bibi".
The search operation carried out in this case resulted in the discovery of a sum of money in the possession of the suspects from the proceeds of this criminal activity, as well as the seizure of a light vehicle suspected of being used to facilitate the commission of these criminal acts.
The process of checking the detainees in the national security database also showed that two of the candidates for illegal immigration are the subject of search warrants at the national level, on suspicion of their involvement in cases related to drug trafficking and assault.
The adult suspects were subjected to custody measures, while the minor detainees were kept under surveillance pending the judicial investigation that is being conducted under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor's office, in order to reveal all the circumstances and details of this case, as well as to determine all its possible links and extensions at the national and international levels.
