Interpol Arrests European Drug Traffickers in Morocco

During raids conducted Monday, police seized high-value assets. The seizures include luxury cars and motorcycles, designer watches, substantial sums in foreign currency, and "doses of cocaine." These discoveries resulted from simultaneous operations carried out in Marrakech and Tangier, coordinated by the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) and the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DGST).

The objective of this security operation was to apprehend fugitive offenders. Database analysis revealed that ten of the eleven arrested individuals were subject to red notices issued by Interpol. The judicial requests underlying these international warrants were filed by France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

The dismantled group has a marked European footprint. Six French nationals of Moroccan origin were actively sought by Paris for "money laundering, membership in criminal organizations active in drug trafficking, fraud and breach of trust." Law enforcement also apprehended three Belgian-Moroccan nationals, one Dutch-Moroccan national, and a French citizen targeted by a local warrant.
