Security operations carried out by police forces in the cities of Tangier and Tetouan to combat digital content inciting the organization of illegal migration led to the arrest of 60 people, including minors, between September 9 and 11. These people are suspected of having fabricated and disseminated false information on social networks, inciting the organization of illegal migration in groups.
The national security digital surveillance services detected content published on social networks directly inciting people to cross the security fence between the town of Fnideq and the city of Ceuta on September 15, 2024, and encouraging social network users to migrate illegally in groups.
Field investigations led to the identification of 13 people involved in the dissemination of this digital content, thanks to precise information provided by the Direction Générale de la Surveillance du Territoire. They were arrested by the judicial police in Tetouan during security operations carried out in Casablanca, Tetouan, Larache, Ouezzane, Rabat, Missour, Oujda, Fez, Mohammedia and Ouislane.
Another security operation in Tangier led to the arrest of 47 suspects as soon as they arrived in the city via the train and bus stations, as they tried to respond to videos and digital content inciting illegal migration in groups.
The individuals concerned were taken into custody as part of the judicial investigation supervised by the competent public prosecutor’s office, in order to determine the true motivations behind these criminal acts. Investigations are continuing in order to identify and arrest all inciters and accomplices directly involved in the production and dissemination of this content and false information calling for illegal group migration.
