Drug Revelation and Initial arrests
Approximately 50 kilograms of cannabis resin were intercepted by police at the East Port following a thorough inspection of newly arrived vehicles disembarking from the “Grand Hero” vessel, which had recently made a stop in Tangier, Morocco. Authorities discovered the illicit substance meticulously concealed within the vehicles’ interiors and tires.
Three individuals were apprehended and are currently in custody as part of the ongoing investigation. Law enforcement officials had been monitoring this suspected trafficking operation for several months, strategically awaiting an opportune moment to intervene.
this seizure follows a recent discovery of 8 kilograms of MDMA aboard another liner that also included a stop in Tangier, indicating a potential pattern of drug transit through the Moroccan port.
Investigators are focusing on a potential “facilitator” – a dockworker suspected of aiding the trafficking network, which is believed to be organized from France.The suspect and his wife arrived on the island via a flight from Paris and are both being questioned.
Ongoing Efforts to Dismantle the Network
The investigation is actively progressing to identify and apprehend all individuals connected to this criminal network. Authorities are committed to disrupting the flow of illegal narcotics and bringing those responsible to justice.
