Friday January 17, customs officers at the maritime terminal of the port of Beni Ansar were able to foil a smuggling operation involving a large quantity of the Shera drug, amounting to 19 kilograms.
This operation is part of the ongoing efforts deployed by security and customs authorities to combat the phenomenon of smuggling and protect national borders.
The prohibited quantity was seized during a careful inspection carried out on a car registered in France, a Volkswagen Passat.
The car was driven by a Moroccan citizen with a French residence permit and the suspect intended to use the car to transport drugs onto a ship bound for the port of the French city of Sète.
This operation highlighted the vigilance and great efficiency of customs officers at the port of Beni Ansar, who were able to discover the drugs carefully hidden inside the vehicle.
-The operation focuses on the development of surveillance and inspection techniques used in the port, which constitute one of the fundamental pillars to face security challenges.
After the seizure of the drugs and the arrest of the suspect, he was handed over to the police officers of the Beni Ansar Commission, who in turn opened an in-depth investigation to discover the circumstances of the incident.
The investigation aims to identify the actors associated with this operation, whether inside or outside Morocco, as part of a joint effort to dismantle smuggling networks.
This operation constitutes a new achievement which adds to the series of successes achieved by the Moroccan authorities in the fight against smuggling and organized crime, which testifies to their continued commitment to protect national security and to fight against all forms of cross-border crime.
