Authorities in Casablanca opened a judicial investigation on Wednesday evening to arrest suspects involved in a smuggling operation, according to the General Directorate of National Security’s (DGSN) statement on Twitter.

The operation involved three tons and 206 kilograms of ‘chira’ drug, which were intended to be exported from the port of Casablanca.

DGSN added that the search and inspection operations resulted in the monitoring of the warehouse that was used to ship the seized drugs.

Research and investigations are currently being conducted in order to arrest all those involved in this criminal operation.

In recent years, Moroccan authorities intensified security efforts to combat smuggling operations, including the international active networks in smuggling narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.
