El Tarf, Algeria – Law enforcement officials in El Tarf have apprehended an individual suspected of involvement in the illegal trade and smuggling of restricted materials. The operation, conducted by the Mobile Brigade of the Judicial Police (BMPJ) of Chatt, under the jurisdiction of the El Tarf State Security, resulted in the seizure of a substantial quantity of white mercury.
