Algiers \u2013 A major operation by the Central Service for Combating Illicit Drug Trafficking (SCLTIS) has led to the dismantling of a sophisticated criminal organization involved in international drug trafficking. The operation, conducted last week, resulted in the seizure of over 95 kilograms and 669 grams of processed cannabis, originating from Morocco.<\/p>\n
Nineteen individuals, including one woman, were apprehended as part of the operation. Investigations revealed an attempt to smuggle the cannabis shipment from Morocco into Algeria. The drugs were discovered in a commercial vehicle traveling between Algiers and Tipaza.<\/p>\n
The primary suspect, wanted under multiple arrest warrants, was subsequently arrested. Investigations revealed his direct involvement with Moroccan drug kingpins who supply the narcotics. <\/p>\n
Authorities also recovered fifteen vehicles of various makes and models, used by the network to carry out their criminal activities, along with two motorcycles and a hunting rifle. A substantial sum of money, amounting to 1,467,000,000 centimes (approximately 14.67 million Algerian dinars), believed to be proceeds from criminal activities, was also seized.<\/p>\n
The suspects have been presented before the Public Prosecutor at the Cheraga Court. DZWatch<\/strong> will continue to follow this developing story. Stay tuned for updates.<\/em><\/p>\n
