DZ Mafia Cartel Millions: Morocco Cryptocurrency Investigation
The investigation into DZ Mafia’s finances opens a lead that also passes through Morocco. Marseille investigators are interested in considerable flows in cryptocurrencies, notably via the account of a Marseille student who returned to live in Morocco.
This financial aspect describes a criminal organization that no longer limits itself to Marseille drug dealing points, according to Le Parisien, which claims to have consulted the judicial file "Octopus". The file mentions hundreds of thousands of euros generated each day, shell companies, close associates tasked with moving money around, but also investments abroad. Dubai, Algeria and now this lead linked to Morocco appear in the investigations as possible relays for concealing or moving funds.

The Moroccan lead concerns more precisely cryptocurrency movements. Several million euros or dollars allegedly transited from account to account, in a scheme still being followed by investigators. Morocco is not presented as the center of the system, but as one point in an international financial circuit that justice is attempting to reconstruct.

The "Octopus" file above all shows how drug trafficking money changes form to escape seizures: cash, shell companies, real estate, gold, cryptocurrencies. For investigators, DZ Mafia would have built a veritable ecosystem of people and structures capable of increasing trafficking revenues while making them harder to trace. The Moroccan lead fits into this broader suspected money laundering mechanism.
