A large-scale anti-terrorism operation coordinated by the International Criminal Police Organization Interpol in fourteen countries, including Morocco, has resulted in 66 arrests, significant seizures, and the identification of 81 individuals subject to arrest warrants.
Named “Neptune VI,” this international operation, conducted in cooperation with the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) and Europol, took place in several countries, including Morocco.
It strengthened security along the maritime routes of the Mediterranean, as well as in airports and at land borders of the participating countries.
According to Interpol, this two-week operation focused on identifying and analyzing the movements of foreign terrorist fighters and individuals with links to terrorism, as well as criminal groups responsible for cross-border offenses such as drug trafficking, arms smuggling, and human trafficking.
Throughout the operation, stolen vehicles and lost or stolen passports, which are essential for facilitating the financing and mobility of terrorists, were also identified, the organization added.
By the end of “Neptune VI,” twelve million data entries had been cross-referenced, and a dozen of Interpol’s most wanted individuals had been arrested, along with 54 others sought by authorities in certain countries for drug-related offenses, fraud, and the smuggling of gold, silver, and weapons.
This security operation also led to significant seizures, including 549,000 euros in undeclared cash, quantities of gold valued at 10 million euros, 25 kilograms of cannabis, 35 stolen vehicles, and several rifles and ammunition.
