Moroccan security forces have arrested a major drug trafficker known as 'Ould Zmane' after an extensive nationwide manhunt, according to official sources. The suspect, whose real name has not been disclosed, was wanted on nearly 30 arrest warrants issued by the Royal Gendarmerie and the National Police.
The arrest took place on May 29, 2026, in the outskirts of Casablanca, following a coordinated operation involving multiple security units. 'Ould Zmane' had been a fugitive for several years, evading capture while allegedly running a large-scale drug trafficking network.
Authorities have not yet released details about the specific charges or the amount of drugs involved, but the suspect has a long criminal record. The operation is part of Morocco's ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking and organized crime.
