Friday 19 June 2020 - 16:26

The El Jadida judicial police foiled, on Friday, an attempt to illegally emigrate from the city’s beach to the European coasts.

This security operation led to the arrest of 23 would-be emigrants, including a woman, who were about to leave the coast of El Jadida on board a small boat, according to a statement by the national police (DGSN), stating that these people were in possession of two marine engines and 20 plastic jerry cans containing 400 liters of gasoline.

The would-be emigrants were subjected to a preliminary investigation under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office to elucidate the ins and outs of this case, while research and investigations continue to question the instigators of this illegal emigration operation, who are involved in this criminal network, added the same source.

This case is part of the DGSN’s ongoing efforts to combat illegal migration networks and trafficking in human beings, the statement concluded.
