Moroccan authorities have seized more than a ton of cocaine and captured seven involved people who are linked to an international criminal network specialized in trafficking cocaine between Latin America, Morocco, and Europe. According to the Moroccan Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation (BCIJ), which announced on Saturday this operation, the cocaine was concealed in a Morocco-registered truck. During this major drug-busting operation, Moroccan police seized two inflatable boats, a GPS, a hydraulic engine and two 4×4 vehicles. In 2017, Morocco seized record 2.84 tons of cocaine. Morocco works closely with the United States and European partners to combat drug trafficking.
