Sidi Ifni security forces foil major drug trafficking and immigration attempt

In the early hours of Friday, Sidi Ifni's national security forces successfully intercepted an international drug trafficking and illegal sea migration operation, seizing 1 ton and 922 kilograms of cannabis resin, according to a security source.

The police intervention led to the capture of an inflatable boat, equipped with two engines, on a beach approximately five kilometers from Sidi Ifni, en route to Tiznit. Onboard were seven individuals, gasoline jerricans, and 50 bales of drugs weighing a total of 1 ton and 922 kilograms, as detailed by the same source.

A judicial investigation has been initiated to assess the extent of involvement of the apprehended individuals in this case, which is linked to international drug trafficking and the facilitation of illegal maritime migration.
