Oran, Algeria – In a significant operation targeting organized crime and safeguarding public health, Algerian customs authorities in Oran have dealt a blow to drug trafficking networks. A well-coordinated field operation in the Oran region resulted in the seizure of a large quantity of psychotropic pills.
According to customs sources, the mobile inspection unit, in close coordination with a detachment of the People’s National Army, successfully thwarted an attempt to smuggle a substantial amount of hallucinogenic tablets. The operation led to the confiscation of 6,358 Ecstasy pills, along with 19 Pregabalin 300mg tablets of foreign origin.
