Algerian security forces dismantle two drug networks, seize cocaine and cash

Security forces arrested 12 suspects and confiscated more than 96 kg of cocaine in an operation in Oran, officials said.

The Gendarmerie also carried out a separate raid in Algiers, detaining 33 traffickers and seizing 30 kg of cocaine, 176 kg of processed cannabis, one million psychotropic tablets, 21 utility vehicles and cash worth 200 million centimes.

The Oran operation alone yielded seizures valued at over 200 billion centimes, according to authorities.

Investigators traced the criminal structures to barons based in Morocco, with the networks also operating from Europe, the Ministry of National Defence (MDN) confirmed.

The MDN reiterated the state's resolve to combat transnational crime, highlighting the coordinated effort between the Sûreté nationale and the Gendarmerie as a model for future actions.
