Taroudant, Morocco- Members of the customs services at Bab Ceuta (a Spanish enclave in the Moroccan territory) seized approximately 2052 Smartphones on Monday, according to MAP. Valued at 2.7 million dirhams, the merchandise was intended to be smuggled into Morocco.
According to a customs source cited by MAP, the goods introduced to Morocco via the enclave of Ceuta, were concealed in boxes usually used for the transport of fresh fish on the board of a van.
The search of the vehicle uncovered this smuggling attempt and led to the arrest of the driver, who was trying to smuggle the goods without declaring them in accordance with the regular customs procedures into force, added the same source.
The suspect was handed over to the judicial police of Tetouan for further investigation before being brought to justice.
