According to a security source, two suspects were apprehended in Marrakech while in the act of possessing and distributing illegal drugs. A search operation yielded a significant haul of 1,230 narcotic tablets of the type known as 'Rivotril' and 80 grams of cocaine. This operation not only uncovered these drugs but also led to the seizure of an electronic scale and a motorcycle, which are believed to have been used to facilitate these criminal activities. Additionally, a sum of money, presumed to be the proceeds from their illicit dealings, was confiscated.
The two suspects are currently under police custody, pending a judicial investigation overseen by the relevant public prosecutor's office. This inquiry aims to elucidate all circumstances and details surrounding the case, as well as to identify any potential further connections to this criminal activity.
