SPANISH police have uncovered a secret drug smuggling tunnel connecting Morocco with Spain.
The invention was made at present by the Guardia Civil drive within the Spanish territory of Ceuta, which neighbours Morocco on the northern tip of Africa.
The underground community ran from a warehouse within the Tarajal industrial property to Morocco, and was allegedly used to introduce ‘massive quantities of cannabis’ into Spain.
In keeping with native Spanish newspaper El Faro, the authorities had lengthy been trying to find the entry route, which has been working for years with out anybody noticing.
The constructing of the tunnel passed off behind the closed doorways of a warehouse.
This shielded the entry gap from prying eyes, whereas the loud noises didn’t arouse suspicion on condition that it was going down on an industrial property.
As soon as constructed, the tunnel can be used to obtain large bales of cannabis from Morocco. They’d then be loaded onto vans that evaded the Guardia Civil checkpoint and headed to mainland Spain.
The invention was a part of an extended investigation into drug trafficking and police corruption, reviews El Faro.
The probe, being run by Inside Affairs, has already resulted in a number of arrests, with a number of suspects jailed, together with Guardia Civil officers.
No names or data of the accused have been launched, because the investigation is ongoing.
Since no less than 2023, Spanish authorities have been looking for the supply of giant portions of cannabis arriving from Ceuta to mainlaind Spain on vans.
