Interpol Probes Moroccan Cocaine Ring with Ties to Politicians and Business Elite

According to the daily Al Massae, a special team from the international police has traveled to the kingdom to investigate a criminal network of cocaine trafficking and money laundering whose network extends to Europe. The assets of certain Moroccan politicians and entrepreneurs will also be scrutinized.

For the newspaper, money laundering in Europe is the prerogative of both drug traffickers from Nador and Driouech, businessmen and certain political figures in Morocco. A new list of people wanted internationally has been handed over in this regard to the Interpol office in Rabat.

The special brigade will have to go to Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and the Spanish enclave of Melilla, where the suspects are used to laundering their fortunes. The operation, which will be carried out in the utmost secrecy, plans to seize all assets derived from money laundering, the same source points out.
