On Saturday, elements of the Tangier prefectural judicial police service, on the basis of precise information provided by the services of the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance, succeeded in arresting an individual for his alleged links with a criminal network active in illegal immigration and human trafficking.

Inquiries and investigations led to the apprehension of the accused at the “Diyar Tanger” housing estate, in flagrante delicto preparing an illegal immigration operation, in the company of two candidates aged 22 and 23, a security source said.

A check against the database of persons wanted by the justice system revealed that the individual in question was the subject of 11 wanted notices at national level for bounced cheques and organizing illegal immigration, the source added.

The suspect was placed in police custody for investigation under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office, in order to determine all the ramifications of this case and to apprehend any other individuals involved in these criminal acts.
