Three individuals aged between 55 and 70, including a doctor, a pharmacist, and his assistant, were arrested, Tuesday morning, by Salé police’s anti-gang squad, for their alleged involvement in a case of psychotropic drug trafficking.
This operation was carried out in Casablanca with the collaboration of the Directorate General of Territorial Surveillance (DGST), following a case where two individuals were apprehended in Salé and Deroua last week, resulting in the seizure of 3,330 psychotropic tablets.
Following investigations, it was discovered that the arrested doctor played a role in supplying prescriptions to the pharmacist and his assistant, who would then use them to acquire psychotropic drugs for delivery to drug traffickers, states the same source.
In connection with the case, authorities seized an additional shipment of 3,300 psychotropic tablets of various types. They also confiscated a batch of prescriptions, invoices related to the purchase of psychotropic substances, a stamp belonging to the doctor, and a sum of money suspected to have come from the criminal activity.
The three suspects are currently in custody as part of an ongoing judicial investigation aimed at apprehending all individuals involved in the criminal act and uncovering their connections to drug and psychotropic drug trafficking networks, concludes the same source.
