Moroccan security forces arrested 44 individuals and seized 235 kilograms of kif (cannabis resin) in a coordinated operation, according to official reports. The operation targeted drug trafficking networks in the northern region of the country.
The arrests took place over several days, with authorities confiscating the drugs along with vehicles and equipment used in the trafficking. The suspects are believed to be part of a larger network involved in smuggling kif to domestic and international markets.
This operation is part of ongoing efforts by Moroccan authorities to combat drug trafficking, which has been a persistent issue in the region. The seized kif has an estimated street value of several million dirhams.
The suspects are currently in custody and will face charges related to drug trafficking and organized crime. Investigations are ongoing to identify other members of the network.
