The Royal Gendarmerie in Biougra, Chtouka Ait Baha, has apprehended a prime suspect linked to the 2018 murders of three individuals during a violent conflict between smuggling gangs in the Tiznit region, according to Hespress sources.

The suspect, a 40-year-old known as “Baskat” from Assa-Zag, was arrested during a raid at a local drinking session.

He was already the subject of multiple national search warrants. Following his arrest, the wanted individual was transferred to the Tiznit judicial center for interrogation regarding the premeditated murders.

Authorities are also questioning him about his involvement in a criminal gang accused of theft, smuggling, and other serious offenses.

This arrest adds to the growing number of individuals apprehended in connection with the 2018 Tiznit murders, which has now exceeded ten, primarily through operations led by the Royal Gendarmerie.

Additionally, the judicial police in Tanatan successfully arrested another suspect related to the case last December.
