The local authorities of the Beni Sheker community, in coordination with members of the Royal Gendarmerie and members of the Auxiliary Forces, foiled, yesterday Friday, an attempt at illegal migration via the maritime routes of the region.
This operation is part of efforts to strengthen surveillance and raise the security alert level as the new year approaches.
The operation resulted in the arrest of around forty people who were trying to migrate illegally to the Spanish coast.
The detainees were the subject of a judicial investigation procedure under the control of the competent public prosecutor’s office, with the aim of uncovering all the circumstances of the case, as research is still underway to identify the rest of those involved or the potential organizers of this attempt.
In the same context, the authorities explained that this arrest was part of routine patrols aimed at monitoring the coasts of the Beni Sheker grouping, which constitutes one of the hotspots known for carrying out illegal immigration operations in the Nador region.
These campaigns aim to reduce irregular migration and combat international drug trafficking across the region.
It should be noted that the security and local authorities in the regions of Nador, Driouch and M’diq Fnideq have raised their alert level, because they have mobilized their human and logistical resources to deal with any attempt at mass migration or other activities. illegal activities that can be carried out during the New Year holidays.
It should be noted that these security operations are part of an integrated national strategy aimed at combating irregular migration networks, while ensuring the protection of lives and addressing the risks these operations pose to the local and regional security and stability.
