Spanish Soldier Arrested in Morocco for Alleged Ties to Human Trafficking Ring

The Moroccan authorities have apprehended a Spanish soldier for his alleged link to an illegal immigration network. It was by following the trail of a complaint filed against him that his arrest was possible.

The Spanish soldier, according to the local media El Faro de Ceuta, was part of the Ceuta general command unit. The charges against him are very serious. He is accused of "participation in an offense of illegal immigration and links with a clandestine immigration network".

In addition to the soldier, three other people, members of the auxiliary forces in Nador, were arrested on December 9 in Beni Chiker, near the other Spanish enclave. They were in charge of coastal surveillance, concludes the Spanish media.
