Cocaine seizures in Tunisia have risen: Tunisian Customs announced that more than 101 kilograms were seized during the first nine months of 2026, compared with 94 kilograms in 2025 and 33 kilograms in 2024. Smuggling routes are shifting, with Libya becoming a transit and storage point. Cocaine reaches the country by sea from South America and overland via the Sahel. A UN report also documented a reverse flow from European ports, including Marseille and Genoa, to La Goulette and Rades. Around 30 kilograms were seized at the Ras Jedir border crossing in February 2026. The high price of cocaine in Tunisia—300,000 dinars per kilogram, compared with 84,000 to 144,000 dinars in Europe—is likely to attract criminal networks. A security official stressed the importance of joint investigations and international information-sharing.
