Oujda, Morocco – In a significant security development, police forces in the Oujda Security Prefecture have successfully dismantled a criminal network involved in forging official documents and organizing illegal immigration. The operation took place on the evening of Wednesday, July 10th, resulting in the arrest of three individuals aged between 30 and 44 years old.
According to security sources, two of the detainees have a previous criminal record. The group is suspected of involvement in forging official documents and using them to prepare “Schengen” visa files, as well as organizing illegal immigration and human trafficking.
Initial investigations revealed that the suspects belong to a larger criminal network specializing in forging administrative documents and papers used in visa application files for European countries. These forged documents are believed to have been used to facilitate illegal immigration.
During the search operation, police discovered a range of evidence, including forged documents and certificates, counterfeit stamps and contracts, as well as a printing machine and computer equipment suspected of being used in these criminal activities.
The authorities have placed the suspects in police custody, where they are undergoing investigation under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor’s office. Ongoing investigations aim to determine the extent of this criminal network and arrest more individuals involved in these illegal activities.
This operation comes as part of the continuous efforts by Moroccan authorities to combat illegal immigration and document forgery, underscoring the kingdom’s commitment to enhancing security and protecting its borders.
The dismantling of this network highlights the ongoing challenges faced by authorities in tackling sophisticated criminal operations that exploit vulnerable individuals seeking to migrate. It also emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in addressing cross-border criminal activities and illegal immigration.
As the investigation continues, authorities are expected to provide more details about the network’s operations and its potential links to other criminal groups operating within Morocco and across international borders.
