Moroccan authorities seize assets of drug lord linked to hashish theft
The Money Laundering Prevention Chamber of the Fez Court sentenced Sufian B., who was leading a money laundering network linked to drug trafficking, to two years in prison along with a fine of 50,000 dirhams. His real estate, movable assets, and bank accounts were also confiscated in favor of the state. Additionally, after an appeal, the court decided to increase the main defendant's sentence to four years of enforced imprisonment, and canceled the previous ruling ordering compensation for the public interest. The network was dismantled thanks to precise security intelligence and involved members of the family and other alleged partners, all aiming to launder money from major drug trafficking activities—specifically from hard drugs and cocaine—as well as smuggling and purchasing real estate in Morocco. This highlights the scale of the operations and the challenges authorities face in combating money laundering and drug trafficking.
