Massive Cocaine Bust: Over 1.3 Tons Seized from Brazilian Cruise Ship in Moroccan Port

In a statement, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) welcomed the foiling of this attempt at international drug trafficking.

On Monday morning, its services were alerted by the suspicious sealing method of a container on board a cruise ship that had left Brazil, the note said, adding that the searches carried out by the canine brigade led to the discovery of a cargo of drugs, carefully packaged and hidden in 40 suitcases.

An investigation has been opened "with a view to identifying all the persons linked to this criminal network involved in the attempted trafficking of cocaine cargoes, as well as its regional and international ramifications," the statement concluded.
