Joint border control operations carried out by national security and customs services at Tangier Port on Monday morning resulted in foiling an attempt to smuggle 13 kilograms of heroin on board a truck coming from Spain.
Hespress sources explained that the Scanner checks on a vehicle registered in the Netherlands enabled authorities to find a bag tucked under the engine and containing 13 kilograms of suspected hard drugs.
The same sources added that the seized shipments were subjected to a preliminary examination that proved that they contained heroin, which necessitated their seizure and referral to the National Scientific and Technical Police Laboratory for in-depth technical and forensic expertise.
A judicial investigation was opened under the instructions of the competent public prosecution with the driver of the seized vehicle, a 63-year-old Moroccan citizen of Dutch nationality, to uncover all circumstances and backgrounds of this case, as well as to identify its possible national and international links and extensions.
