Kiosk360. International cocaine traffickers from South America seek to supply Europe with the complicity of Moroccan drug traffickers. This article is a press review of the daily Assabah.
European security services are hunting down powerful Go-fast stars belonging to international cocaine trafficking rings following they flooded the dark continent with hard drugs and tried to smuggle them to Morocco.
The daily Assabah reports, in its Monday 13 June edition, that drug traffickers have extended their influence over the cocaine transport routes near the Moroccan coasts from where they supply the European and Moroccan markets.
Investigations revealed that these networks use boats and speedboats from South America. An authoritative source indicates that the transport of cocaine via stars has become a means of bartering hard drugs for hashish. The investigation also showed that Moroccans, most of whom have dual nationality, dominate the European market and have sought to flood Moroccan markets with hard drugs.
The Spanish authorities have a list of the most important cocaine trafficking networks in the region. A list that allowed them to intercept traffickers in the Canary Islands who were on board a fishing boat flying the Brazilian flag. His crew was preparing to transfer its cargo of hard drugs to another boat moored near the Moroccan coast.
The daily Assabah reports that the use of speedboats to transport cocaine has become the preferred method of most traffickers, the most notorious of which is a drug baron who forges ties with an international mafia in Latin America. The last operation of this drug trafficker took place on a boat loaded with a large quantity of cocaine which passed through several ports before the transaction was made off the Atlantic Ocean in front of Moroccan territorial waters.
The Spanish national police and the Guardia Civil had repeatedly intercepted speedboats carrying cocaine heading for Morocco. This was, in particular, the case for this star where there were six Brazilians and a Frenchman of Moroccan origin. The Spanish police services suspected the Franco-Moroccan of being an intermediary between the cocaine trafficking networks in Latin America and who would have links with the drug barons in Nador and Driouch.
