Named HORUS and initiated last year, the investigation revealed a formidable aerial import method. The gang relied on fixed-wing aircraft to bring merchandise back from Morocco. The model intercepted by investigators impresses with its capabilities: equipped with four engines and displaying a wingspan of four meters, the aircraft can carry up to twenty kilos of cargo.
