According to the preliminary information released, the drugs were in a refrigerated container that left Brazil for a West African port. That route remains information attributed to investigators.

Tangier’s judicial police opened an investigation under prosecutorial supervision. Interpol’s Rabat bureau is to coordinate international exchanges to identify the network. The reviewed reports do not announce any arrest linked to this shipment.
