One of the agents then asked to check the bread baguettes wrapped in aluminum foil that the Moroccan was holding in his hands. That’s where they discovered the balls, hidden inside the breads, and whose color and odor clearly indicated that they were hashish. A hypothesis confirmed after analysis of the substance containing hashish pollen.

In total, two kilograms and eight hundred and thirty grams of hashish, divided into 260 balls, were seized and made available to the competent court, which also ordered the detention of the Moroccan as the presumed perpetrator of an offense against public health.
