Morocco: 81 people charged for European drug smuggling
A Moroccan prosecutor has charged a record 81 people, several of them security officials, over massive drug smuggling to Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain, an official said Thursday.
"Between Wednesday and Thursday a total of 81 people including members of the gendarmerie, the auxiliary forces and the royal marines were presented before a pre-trial judge after being charged by a Casablanca court prosecutor," a justice official said.
He added that it was the largest number of people ever to be charged with such an offence in Morocco.
Police earlier this month broke up a major international network operating out of the north of the country, which was trafficking drugs to Belgium and the Netherlands via Spain.
