The Agadir Judicial Police Division has launched a criminal investigation, under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office, to determine the involvement of two individuals—including a police officer on short-term medical leave—who were caught red-handed with 172 kilograms of drugs.

According to an official security source, police in Agadir, in coordination with the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST), intercepted the suspects in an SUV with fake license plates, seizing 75 kilograms of cannabis resin (chira), an air-pressure gun, and doses of cocaine.

A subsequent search of the home of the officer’s accompliceled to the discovery of an additional 97 kilograms of cannabis resin.

Further checks revealed that one of the suspects—who was accompanying the police officer—was already wanted by Casablanca’s judicial police for his alleged involvement in a similar drug trafficking case.

Both individuals have been placed in police custody pending further investigation to uncover the full circumstances of the case and determine the extent of each suspect’s criminal involvement.

On an administrative level, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) is awaiting the outcome of the judicial proceedings before taking disciplinary action against the police officer, in accordance with national security regulations.
