Morocco-bound cigarette smuggling halted
Spanish authorities, in coordination with the Tax and Customs Agency, thwarted an attempt to smuggle approximately 9,900 packs of cigarettes valued at over 58,500 euros through the Strait of Gibraltar. The cigarettes were hidden in a truck coming from Morocco and heading to the port of Algeciras. The operation resulted in the arrest of the driver, with investigations ongoing to identify those behind the smuggling attempt. This effort is part of ongoing initiatives to combat tobacco smuggling across the region's ports since the beginning of 2026, which has so far reached a total of 1,160,000 packs.
