Spanish police have dismantled a sophisticated drug smuggling tunnel connecting Morocco to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The tunnel, approximately 200 meters long, originated in a Moroccan forest and ended in a warehouse in Ceuta, where authorities seized 4.5 tons of cannabis resin.
The Civil Guard operation, named 'TΓΊnel', led to the arrest of 11 individuals. The tunnel was equipped with lighting, ventilation, and a rail system to transport the drugs. Investigators believe the criminal organization had been using it for several months.
This discovery highlights the ongoing challenges in combating drug trafficking across the Strait of Gibraltar. Spanish and Moroccan authorities are collaborating on the investigation to identify other members of the network involved in the operation.
