Bank Transfers Lead to Arrest of Drug Dealer in Casablanca
By Youssef Saïssi Hassani
Bank transfers that drew the attention and suspicion of law enforcement led to the arrest of a drug dealer in the heart of Casablanca. This operation followed an extensive surveillance of the dealer, whose activities had gained notoriety in the city. The operation culminated in a sting after he received a shipment from northern Morocco intended for distribution among his clients in the economic capital.
According to a source from “Express TV,” continuous bank transfers through a company raised alarms for the police. They were tracking the dealer, known in the local vernacular, who eventually fell into their trap while supplying his clients with drugs. The bank transfers over recent months became a focal point due to the prior arrest of his supplier, who also provided a network of dealers in Rabat and Casablanca.
The source further revealed that the dealer, who catered to high-profile clients in the economic capital, found himself cornered with a series of security inquiries regarding these ongoing bank transfers from one of his cannabis suppliers. While he confessed to several allegations, he denied others. He is now awaiting his referral to the public prosecutor for further proceedings and resolution of the case.
