Moroccan authorities have launched a large-scale operation to locate a tunnel used for hashish trafficking between Ceuta and Morocco. Security units have been deployed along the border, particularly in the Arroyo de las Bombas area and near the technical control post, to conduct inspections and gather evidence. 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.
