Spanish media report that investigators are probing the possible existence of a new smuggling tunnel beneath the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, which borders Morocco. The probe is part of the ongoing 'tunnels' case, which has previously uncovered underground passages used for drug trafficking.
According to reports, the hypothesis emerged after routine surveillance and intelligence work. Authorities have not confirmed the tunnel's existence but are examining the area for signs of excavation or illicit activity.
Ceuta, a Spanish exclave on the North African coast, has long been a hotspot for smuggling due to its porous border with Morocco. Previous tunnels have been discovered connecting the enclave to Moroccan territory, often used to transport hashish and other contraband.
The investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made in connection with this specific tunnel. Spanish police are coordinating with Moroccan authorities as part of the inquiry.
