DR ‹ › Police in Dakhla has dismantled a dangerous criminal network involved in counterfeiting foreign currency and distributing hallucinogenic pills. According to Assabah, the network consists of four suspects, including one woman, aged between 20 and 33. They face charges related to circulating counterfeit currency, trafficking hard drugs, and additional charges for participation. The case surfaced on December 8, when one suspect attempted to exchange sixteen counterfeit 100-dollar bills at a money transfer agency. The employee detected the forgery, prompting the suspect to flee and abandon the fake bills, which immediately triggered an urgent police investigation. The subsequent inquiries and security operations led to the arrest of all network members and the seizure of 635 counterfeit 100-dollar bills, as well as hallucinogenic pills, including ecstasy and Rivotril. The suspects have been placed in preventive detention, while authorities continue to investigate the network's possible branches and connections within and beyond the city.
