Authorities in Chefchaouen arrested an 18-year-old man on Tuesday on suspicion of disseminating false information and sharing digital content encouraging illegal migration, according to the regional police department. The arrest was made in coordination with the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST).
The National Security’s cyber-monitoring unit had detected online posts alleging prior planning for a mass breach of the security fence between Fnideq and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The content also reportedly urged social media users to engage in illegal migration.
Following technical investigations and field inquiries, police identified the suspect and apprehended him in the rural area of Bouztate, part of the Bab Taza commune, approximately 25 kilometers from Chefchaouen.
The suspect has been placed under judicial investigation, supervised by the competent public prosecutor’s office, to determine the full circumstances of the case and uncover the true motives behind his actions.
