Moroccan police and customs officers at the Bab Sebta border crossing arrested a 39-year-old man Saturday evening on suspicion of international drug trafficking after seizing 2,400 psychotropic pills in his possession.

Authorities said the suspect was caught attempting to smuggle the tablets, identified as Rivotril, across the border. The pills were confiscated during a security inspection.

The man has been placed under judicial investigation under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office, police said. Investigators are seeking to determine possible connections to wider criminal networks and identify all alleged criminal acts linked to the suspect.

Officials said the case is part of Morocco’s ongoing intensified operations aimed at combating international drug trafficking and the smuggling of psychotropic substances.
