Car Dealers Implicated in Moroccan Cocaine Trafficking Money Laundering Scheme

The Harhoura police elements were able to determine the ramifications of the cocaine trafficking network and locate the mastermind of this traffic in the United Arab Emirates, reports Assabah. They also discovered that several car dealers are involved in money laundering.

These ramifications have laundered the money from cocaine. They have also excelled in tax evasion and unfair competition. They had benefited from several illegal exemptions, the amount of which exceeds, in some cases, 600,000 dirhams. They had also falsified the vehicle documents to pay less fees.

In November 2019, the judicial police of Témara and Casablanca had dismantled this drug trafficking network. In total, 476 kg of cocaine had been seized. The investigation made it possible to locate the main accused in Dubai, and an international arrest warrant was issued against him. The three individuals incarcerated in this case in the Al Arjat prison in Salé are members of a money laundering network that has infiltrated luxury car dealerships, it is specified.
