The suspects are accused of multiple criminal activities, including smuggling drugs into the Kingdom and replacing seized narcotics with similar substances before their destruction by authorities.
They are also accused of transporting and promoting drugs, trading illegal substances, and compromising drug-related investigations by leaking information regarding convictions.
The authority reaffirmed its commitment to counteracting national security and public safety threats. The Ministry of Interior remains vigilant against criminal activities aimed at destabilising the country and harming its citizens and residents through drug-related offences.
