Morocco intensifies search for hashish smuggling tunnel near Ceuta
On the Spanish side, the Civil Guard is working closely with Moroccan authorities, underscoring strong bilateral cooperation. The tunnel, approximately 50 meters long, is believed to have facilitated the transport of large quantities of drugs to a warehouse disguised as an old marble factory.
While the tunnel's exit has been identified in Ceuta's Tarajal industrial zone, its entrance in Morocco remains undiscovered. However, progress has been made since the return of the Civil Guard's Underground Reconnaissance Unit. Moroccan cooperation is expected to be pivotal in responding to Spanish judicial and ministerial requests.
Senior officials from Morocco's police and gendarmerie are working to identify those responsible for the operation and uncover its wider network. A key question remains: who was aware of the tunnel's existence, and what are the potential implications at higher levels?
Operation Hades, led by the Civil Guard, has already uncovered critical details in Spain. The information Morocco is expected to provide in the coming days could prove essential in dismantling this large-scale trafficking operation.

Tangier Police Arrest Danish Citizen of Palestinian Origin Wanted for Murder
Rabat – Moroccan police in Tangier arrested a 26-year-old Danish citizen of Palestinian origin on Tuesday evening. The man was wanted internationally by Danish authorities for a case of intentional murder using a firearm. According to a security source, the suspect was stopped in Tangier after a police check revealed he was the subject of an Interpol Red Notice. The international arrest order had been issued by the Danish judiciary and circulated by Interpol's National Central Bureau in Copenhagen. Initial information from the investigation suggests that the suspect is linked to a murder by firearm committed in July 2025 in Tingberg, Denmark. The man has been placed in police custody in Morocco, pending his referral to the public prosecutor's office. Interpol's National Central Bureau in Rabat has also informed its Danish counterpart of the arrest. Authorities said the operation reflects Morocco's commitment to international security cooperation, particularly in tracking and arresting suspects wanted for crimes that cross national borders. His extradition to Denmark is currently under review and will proceed in line with international legal procedures. Morocco plays an active role in international police operations through its close partnership with Interpol. The country regularly carries out arrests of suspects wanted abroad, working within the framework of Red Notices and bilateral agreements. These efforts reflect Morocco's commitment to combating transnational crime, including terrorism, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and violent crime. In recent years, Moroccan security services have gained recognition for their effectiveness in coordinating with international partners. Tags: arrestdenmarkInterpolTangier

Two Moroccans Arrested in Spain Over 1.5 Tons of Hashish in Fake Oranges
Rabat– Spanish authorities have arrested two Moroccan nationals in the Malaga region following a major drug trafficking operation. The suspects were intercepted while transporting 1,579 kilograms of hashish concealed inside fake oranges. The operation began when officers from the Drugs and Organized Crime Unit (UDYCO) noticed a car driving suspiciously close to an unmarked white truck on the A-7 highway between Vélez-Málaga and Malaga. Alerted by the behavior, the provincial police's narcotics unit joined the operation to intercept both vehicles. The small car managed to escape following a maneuver, while the truck was stopped at a highway exit. Upon inspecting the truck's trailer, officers discovered several pallets of oranges. However, some of the fruits appeared unusually bright and had an abnormal texture. Further examination revealed they were counterfeit, hollowed out, and filled with hashish. Authorities seized a total of 1,579 kilograms of the drug. A video shared on the official Instagram account of the Policía Nacional shows the operation, capturing the moment officers uncovered the fake oranges and revealed the concealed hashish inside. The truck driver and his companion, both Moroccan nationals, were immediately arrested on drug trafficking charges. They were later presented before Malaga's Instruction Court No. 10 and placed in provisional detention. Police investigations are ongoing to identify other members of the trafficking network, including the occupants of the vehicle that escaped. Tags: drug traffickinghashishSpain-Morocco

Prosecutor General Reveals Details in Sion Assidon Case
Marrakech – The King's Prosecutor General at the Casablanca Court of Appeal issued a statement on Tuesday, providing details about the case of activist Sion Assidon, who was found unconscious at his home. According to the statement, two employees reported to police on August 11 that their employer, Sion Shimon Harim Baroch Assidon, had not shown up for work and was not answering their calls. They noted his car was parked outside his house. Judicial police immediately went to the residence. After opening the locked door with specialist assistance, officers found several gardening tools in the yard: a ladder, saw, pickaxe, and pruning shears, along with freshly cut vegetation. Inside the ground floor, Assidon was discovered unconscious on a couch, still breathing. He was immediately transported to a hospital. Investigators found personal belongings inside the home, including his phone, sandals with grass traces, keys, two laptops, and neatly arranged books and items. There were no signs of forced entry or disturbance. A surveillance camera located about 300 meters from Assidon's home showed him arriving alone in his car on August 9 at 10:36 a.m. He parked opposite his house and entered wearing the same clothes he was found in later. The vehicle remained parked in the same spot until police arrived on August 11. Biological samples and fingerprints collected from the tools and home revealed only Assidon's prints. Read also: Activist Sion Assidon in Coma After Serious Head Injury in Mohammedia A construction worker from the neighboring house testified seeing Assidon on a ladder pruning trees around 2:00 p.m. on Saturday (August 9). The worker left around 5:00 p.m. while Assidon continued working. When returning to work Sunday (August 10) morning, the worker noticed the ladder still on cut grass clippings. The neighbor who owns the adjacent property confirmed asking Assidon to trim his garden plants. They had agreed to do this work on Saturday, and the neighbor verified seeing him perform this task that day. The King's Prosecutor General stated that the investigation is ongoing, and appropriate legal measures will be taken once completed. Assidon, born in 1948, is a historic figure in Moroccan activism. A former political prisoner and co-founder of the March 23 Movement in the 1970s, he is also one of the most recognized faces of the BDS movement and radical left in Morocco. He remains in a coma at Sheikh Khalifa Hospital in Casablanca following emergency head surgery due to serious injuries to his head and face. The Moroccan Front for Palestinian Support and Against Normalization organized a silent solidarity sit-in on Monday evening outside the hospital. The Front had previously released a statement expressing concern about the prolonged silence from judicial and security authorities regarding Assidon's critical condition. They had called for the mobilization of all state resources for his care and survival. A strong police presence from various units was reported around the clinic where the anti-normalization activist is being treated. Before the Prosecutor's statement was issued, the Front had announced plans to implement an action and advocacy program to fully clarify the circumstances of this event, which they described as still unclear. The Moroccan Observatory Against Normalization also issued a statement wishing a speedy recovery to Assidon, whom they called one of Morocco's great activists for the Palestinian cause.
