Police in Tangier, in coordination with the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance, have arrested six individuals aged between 32 and 42 on suspicion of involvement in a case involving forgery, breach of trust, and the international trafficking of vehicles obtained through criminal activities.
According to available information, the network targeted credit institutions and car rental companies through fraudulent schemes, allowing them to acquire vehicles, which were then altered through falsified documents and license plates before being smuggled abroad, particularly to European markets.
Investigations led to the arrest of several suspects caught in the act while attempting to smuggle two vehicles via Tanger Med Port, in addition to the seizure of four more cars, forged vehicle documents, fake license plates, and a sum of money suspected to be linked to the criminal activity.
The suspects have been placed in police custody under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor, as investigations continue to determine the full circumstances of the case and identify any potential national or international connections.
