Escorpión Moroccan Drug Trafficker Spain Police Hunt

This alias echoes through every incident linked to drug trafficking in Spain. Hunted for years by the Drug and Organized Crime Unit (UDYCO) of the Spanish National Police, this fugitive is believed to be hiding in Morocco. Interest in his identification intensified following the death of Jerónimo and Germán, two officers killed in Huelva during a high-speed chase. In this coastal zone, law enforcement regularly encounters vessels loaded with narcotics or fuel, many bearing the signature of this leader.

This man’s role was refined during a vast crackdown involving a financier based in Dubai and leading to the arrest of 70 people. Among them was Abselam M.M., known as "el Tapi", tasked with financing the boats of this organization. According to information relayed by Antena 3, the suspect manages a significant fleet of speedboats from Morocco. He does not merely chart routes, but dictates instructions to crews, setting delivery points and designating contacts for merchandise reception.

Investigations attribute to this structure the transport of several tons of cocaine to the Canary Islands and the Iberian Peninsula. Satellite line wiretaps even made it possible to dismantle a criminal logistics operation called "Vector Islas Canarias". His arrest remains extremely complex. Sheltered on Moroccan territory, he benefits from sometimes inconsistent judicial cooperation to escape international warrants. The execution of these requests by Moroccan authorities depends, according to the same source, on the profile of the individual sought and his ties to the country.

To operate, this trafficking massively recruits residents from southern Spain, hit by lack of professional opportunities. According to Lucas Lavilla, member of a Civil Guard association in Huelva, monitoring police comings and goings for half an hour can earn a thousand euros. Residents thus agree to supply ships with fuel or retrieve packages on beaches. With their immense financial resources, these groups particularly target young people. A concerned resident sums up the situation: this easy money is like a cake placed at the exit of a school, attracting recruits who know nothing of the true dangers of this world.
