Policemen in Tangier on Sunday evening foiled an illegal immigration operation and arrested four people for their alleged links to a criminal network active in the organization of illegal immigration operations and human trafficking.
The four suspects were arrested in the “Harrarine” district in Tangier, while they were preparing the organization of a maritime illegal immigration operation, National Police (DGSN) said in a statement.
The suspects were arrested while they were transporting, aboard two vehicles, 12 Moroccan would-be illegal immigrants, the statement added.
Initial investigations revealed that these individuals received sums estimated at 260.000 Dirhams from the would-be emigrants, the source pointed out.
The suspects were placed on custody, while investigations are underway under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office.
