The Criminal Investigation Service of the National Gendarmerie in Tipaza, within the First Military Region, has dismantled an organized criminal network engaged in setting up and operating an illegal electronic communications system for the purpose of collaborating with hostile foreign parties. Among those arrested is a foreign national of Moroccan nationality.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of National Defense today, Wednesday, the network provided secret and secure communication channels for its members inside and outside the country, using advanced and sensitive technical equipment that allowed users to conceal their identities and circumvent security surveillance systems, enabling it to carry out illegal activities.
The operation resulted in the arrest of the suspects and the seizure of significant electronic and communications equipment, including:
* 22 devices for routing calls over the internet (VoIP gateways)
* 19 mobile phones
* SIM cards from various mobile operators
* Computer equipment
* A passenger car
* A sum of 95 million centimes (DZD 950,000)
The Ministry affirmed that this operation once again reflects the readiness and vigilance of the People's National Army, in all its components, in confronting all forms of criminal threats and foiling hostile plots targeting the country.
