Morocco foils ecstasy trafficking attempt

Policemen at the Tangier-Med Port foiled on Saturday an ecstasy trafficking operation.

Policemen seized a total of 568,000 ecstasy pills that were loaded into an international cargo truck registered in Morocco and coming from the port of Algeciras, Spain, national police said in a statement.

The truck’s driver and his assistant, aged 48 and 26, respectively, have been arrested and remanded in custody, the source added.

Investigations are underway to determine possible ramifications of this case.
