Spanish authorities have dismantled a drug trafficking network that allegedly used a secret tunnel between Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, with several Civil Guard officers among those arrested. The investigation, led by a court in Ceuta, focuses on the smuggling of large quantities of hashish.
According to judicial sources cited by Spanish media, the officers are suspected of abusing their positions to facilitate the passage of drugs through a concealed passage. The tunnel was reportedly discovered in a warehouse in Ceuta, directly connected to Moroccan territory.
The operation, which involved Spain's Civil Guard and National Police, highlights ongoing challenges in combating cross-border drug trafficking in the Strait of Gibraltar region. Further details on the number of arrests and the scale of the operation are expected as the judicial investigation proceeds.
