Algerian security forces have made a record seizure of psychotropic drugs and cocaine, leading to the arrest of 25 individuals, according to official sources. The operation, which took place in recent days, targeted a major drug trafficking network operating in the country.
The seizure included a significant quantity of cocaine and thousands of psychotropic pills, though exact figures have not been officially disclosed. The arrests were made across several provinces, indicating the network's wide reach.
This operation is part of Algeria's ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking, which has seen an increase in recent years. Authorities have intensified border controls and intelligence-led operations to dismantle trafficking networks.
The suspects are now in custody and will face prosecution under Algerian law, which imposes severe penalties for drug trafficking offenses.
