The General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) has announced in a statement that they have foiled an attempt to traffic over five tons of chira, a form of cannabis resin, in Morocco. This successful operation took place during two separate operations, with the first one led by the judicial police of Al-Hoceima in coordination with local authorities. This operation resulted in the seizure of 41 packs of drugs hidden in a rocky area on the beach. The rest of the cargo was seized by the Royal Navy aboard two fishing boats.
The investigation is ongoing under the supervision of the public prosecutor to uncover all possible connections and apprehend all the accomplices involved in this criminal activity. This case is part of the intensive operations carried out by various national law enforcement agencies to combat drug trafficking networks and psychotropic substances.
This incident highlights the significant efforts made by Moroccan authorities to crack down on drug trafficking and organized crime. The DGSN is committed to working tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of the country and its citizens. It is crucial to continue these operations to dismantle criminal networks and prevent the spread of illicit substances that can harm individuals and communities.
The successful interception of this large drug shipment underscores the importance of cooperation between different law enforcement agencies and the vigilance needed to combat drug trafficking effectively. With ongoing efforts and collaboration, Morocco can continue to make progress in the fight against drug-related crimes and protect the well-being of its people.
