Fez Anti-Gang Police and DGST Arrest Couple at Railway Station With 3,400 Psychotropic Pills

FEZ (FesNews Media) — Officers from the Anti-Gang Squad of the Fez Police Prefecture, acting in close coordination with Morocco’s General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST), arrested a man and his wife early Tuesday morning, November 10, 2026, on suspicion of trafficking narcotics and psychotropic substances.

Security units intercepted the couple at the Fez railway station immediately after they disembarked from a passenger train arriving from Tangier, neutralizing an intercity supply operation before the contraband could be distributed across local neighborhoods.

Seizure of Ecstasy and Rivotril Shipments

A thorough search of the suspects and their luggage uncovered 3,400 psychotropic tablets concealed for transport, consisting of illicit Ecstasy pills and Rivotril sedative tablets, alongside substantial sums of Moroccan currency suspected to be proceeds of drug trafficking and mobile devices submitted for digital forensics.

Judicial Custody and Intercity Transit Security

Both suspects were placed in police custody at the disposal of the judicial investigation overseen by the competent Public Prosecution in Fez to identify upstream suppliers and potential accomplices, in full compliance with legal safeguards and the presumption of innocence.

The joint DGSN–DGST operation highlights reinforced intelligence-led screening across railway terminals, intercity bus hubs, and highway entry points around Fez aimed at dismantling networks trafficking synthetic pills and protecting public safety.
