Moroccan law enforcement agents in Tangier have dismantled a human trafficking network Friday and arrested four suspects aged between 24 and 44. A statement from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) said that the police arrested three Moroccans involved in human trafficking. Morocco has dismantled a dozen irregular migration networks throughout the year. The European Union is fully aware of the tremendous efforts made by Morocco to burst human trafficking networks and curb migrants’ crossings to Southern Europe, particularly to Spain. The EU said the new funding is part of its continuous support for Morocco’s National Strategy on Migration and Asylum.
