Policemen in Laayoune on Wednesday arrested, with the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance’s (DGST) collaboration, two individuals for their alleged links to a criminal network organizing illegal migration and human trafficking operations.
The 30- and 41-year-old suspects were arrested in flagrante delicto in preparation for an illegal emigration operation by sea, a security source said, pointing out that searches of their homes led to the seizure of a car and two rubber dinghies.
The search revealed that the two suspects were the subject of several national search warrants issued by the Laâyoune and Dakhla judicial police and gendarmerie services for their alleged involvement in similar cases related to the organization of illegal migration, drug trafficking and financial crimes, the source added.
The two suspects were taken into police custody for the judicial investigation being conducted under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office, to clarify the circumstances of this case, it added.
