Home: Morocco dismantles drug trafficking criminal network, Interior Ministry: "As part of efforts made by the Moroccan authorities to fight organized crime in all its forms, security services have managed to dismantle a dangerous criminal network operating in Morocco.
The network, which has branches in Latin America, Europe and Africa, is specialized in the trafficking of hard drugs (cocaine) and chira, transported to Europe by land, sea and air, a statement of the Interior Ministry said on Tuesday.
Investigations led to the arrest of seven members of this criminal network, including two Spaniards, who were in possession of large sums of money in foreign and Moroccan currencies, vehicles used in the trafficking of hard drugs in Morocco, quantities of cocaine and chira, and tear gases.
The investigations also revealed that the members of this network, led by criminals of foreign nationalities, were able to transport large quantities of cocaine from Mali to Morocco, while the rest was transferred to European countries, the same source added.
The members were also able to smuggle large sums of money in foreign currency abroad.
The network made of Mali a platform for its criminal activities in collusion with terrorist elements belonging to Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.
The probe is still underway and the people involved in these criminal acts will be brought to justice, the statement said."
