The Tangier judicial police seized, on Monday, one ton and 354 kg of chira and arrested nine individuals suspected of links with a network active in international drug trafficking.

This security operation was made possible thanks to information provided by the services of the Directorate General of Territorial Surveillance, said the national police (DGSN) in a statement.

The suspects, aged between 24 and 55, were arrested in the coastal area of Tangier as they were about to carry out an international drug trafficking operation by sea.

Searches have resulted in the seizure of 38 packages of chira, with a total weight of one ton and 354 kg, said the same source.

The suspects were placed in custody to complete the investigation conducted by the competent prosecutor’s office in order to disrupt and dismantle this criminal activity, concluded the DGSN.
