The Laâyoune judicial police arrested, on Thursday, four individuals, including an ex-convict, suspected of having links with a criminal network operating in illegal immigration and fraud.
According to a press release from the National Police (DGSN), the city’s police services acted on the basis of a complaint filed by six sub-Saharan nationals, corroborated by a video recording attesting to the payment of sums of money to the suspects so that they can help them illegally reach the Canary Islands aboard inflatable boats.
The investigations made it possible to arrest the suspects and to identify other victims of these criminal acts, the same source added, noting that the search carried out in a home used by the suspects enabled to seize nine mobile phones belonging to the victims.
The four accused were remanded in police custody as part of the preliminary investigation conducted under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor, in order to shed light on this case and determine all its ramifications and possible links, added the press release.
