Drug Traffickers Use Small Planes to Evade Morocco-Spain Border Controls

Drug lords have started to transport their goods again using sophisticated small planes. They end up on the other shore, thus escaping the controls of the security forces. The phenomenon, which has become recurrent in northern Morocco, is taken seriously by the Royal Gendarmerie, which has put its services on alert.
Al Ahdath Al Maghribia, which has this information from consistent sources, explains that experts have been dispatched by the General Staff of the Royal Gendarmerie to locate the trajectory of these aircraft that take off, land and disappear from the Moroccan sky without being detected by the radars.
According to the newspaper, the discovery of a plane grounded in the Chefchaouen region, due to a breakdown and abandoned by its pilot, has alerted the authorities. They wondered how such an aircraft ended up in this area without being spotted by the radars.
Indeed, drug traffickers are not lacking in ingenuity. They have, according to the daily, equipped the planes with the appropriate high technology to escape the vigilance of the authorities.
This phenomenon, which seems to be coming back to the forefront of the news, was very widespread in the past, according to the newspaper, which specifies that it was during the 1990s that drug traffickers resorted to this type of plane to prosper their business without being worried.
