A Stinging Blow to Security... Details of the Arrest of a Police Officer in Rabat and His Sister—and the Reason Is Unbelievable!

The Anti-Gang Unit of the Rabat Judicial Police, in close coordination with the General Directorate for National Surveillance, in arresting a police officer stationed in the capital and his sister on suspicion of involvement in a network trafficking and distributing narcotics and psychotropic substances. The police officer was arrested while traveling in a passenger car on the highway connecting Tangier and Rabat; a search of the vehicle led to the seizure of 5,150 narcotic prescription tablets, and 45 grams of cocaine, in addition to a sum of money suspected of being proceeds from this criminal activity. As part of ongoing field investigations, security forces arrested the suspect’s sister in the Ain Ouda area on the outskirts of Rabat, after preliminary investigations revealed that the seized shipment of drugs was intended for her to resell. While the detainees were placed in pretrial detention and the judicial investigation was deepened under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the General Directorate of National Security issued a decision to temporarily suspend the police officer in question from duty, reaffirming its commitment to the strict enforcement of the law and the integrity of the security apparatus.
