Policemen in Al Hoceima successfully apprehended two individuals, aged 30 and 52, on Thursday evening, suspected of being involved in an active network organizing operations related to irregular immigration and human trafficking.

Acting on precise intelligence provided by the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance, the suspects were caught red-handed in the preparation of an operation involving irregular immigration by sea for four migration candidates, according to official sources.

The subsequent searches conducted by the authorities resulted in the seizure of a fishing boat, a utility vehicle, and a motorcycle. Additionally, significant amounts of money in both national and European currencies were confiscated, suspected to be the ill-gotten gains from this illicit activity.

The individuals in question, as well as the candidates for irregular immigration, are now subjects of a thorough judicial investigation under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office. The primary goal of the investigation is to shed light on the intricacies of this case and identify potential connections and ramifications at both the national and international levels.
