Moroccan police thwarted an attempt to traffic 5.758 tons of Chira near the city of Moulay Bousselham on Thursday, according to the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN). Two individuals have been arrested on suspicion of involvement with a criminal network engaged in international drug and psychotropic trafficking. The operation that led to their capture was carried out by Tangier police in close coordination with the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST). The first suspect was apprehended red-handed while attempting to traffic drugs internationally in a foreign-registered truck. During the search, authorities seized 140 bundles of Chira. The investigation also led to the identification of a woman for her alleged involvement in the same case. She was arrested during a separate operation in Kenitra. The two suspects have been placed in police custody under the supervision of the public prosecutor's office, where investigations are ongoing to uncover potential links and identify any accomplices. This operation is part of the ongoing efforts by the DGSN and DGST to combat international drug and psychotropic trafficking, the source concluded in a statement.
