This operation highlights the ongoing commitment of law enforcement in Marrakech to combat drug trafficking and reduce various forms of crime.
According to available information, the suspect was caught in the act of dealing, with multiple wraps of cocaine in his possession, as he prepared to distribute them in several shisha cafes located in the Gueliz neighborhood. Acting on instructions from the relevant public prosecutor's office, the police initiated an investigation into the matter, which included a search of the suspect's residence in the Khaïli neighborhood.
