According to a security source, the first elements of the investigation indicate that four individuals, among the detainees, are active in organizing illegal immigration, while the fifth person arrested is suspected of being involved in mediation operations to attract candidates for immigration. The sixth respondent is suspected of involvement in fraud, swindling and identity theft.
Continued research in this case, adds the same source, have led to the arrest of three candidates for illegal immigration of Moroccan nationality, while the searches have resulted in seizing a fishing boat and a marine engine, which would have been used in illegal immigration operations.
The dismantling of this criminal network comes in the wake of the abortion by the security services in Al Hoceima, Tuesday morning, of an illegal immigration operation at the coast of Al Hoceima, and the arrest of 29 candidates for illegal immigration, including a girl and six minors.
The suspects were subjected to judicial investigation under the supervision of the competent prosecutor’s office, in order to clarify the circumstances of this case and determine its links and possible ramifications at national and international levels.
