Europol Seeks Public Help to Catch Notorious Moroccan Drug Lord

"The Messi of hashish", whose real name is Abdellah El Hadj Sadeck El Menbri, is on the list of the most dangerous fugitive criminals, established by Europol in collaboration with the European Network of Fugitive Active Search Teams (ENFAST). The list, accompanied by the photos and information of the criminals, is available on the Eumostwanted website.

To get their hands on "The Messi of hashish", Europol is asking for the collaboration of citizens. For the moment, the searches are focusing on Spain where the criminal could be found. The 38-year-old Moroccan, 1.87 m tall, is the leader of a criminal group dedicated to drug trafficking, arms, ammunition and explosives trafficking and money laundering from these trafficking.

"The Messi of hashish" is "currently considered the leader of the largest hashish trafficking organization in Spain, active in the Campo de Gibraltar region," says Eumostwanted. The network introduces hashish into Spain from Morocco and distributes it in other European countries.
