Overview
- Spanish police, which disclosed the discovery Tuesday, said the passage ran beneath a Ceuta warehouse with rails, cranes, pumps and soundproofing.
- Officers seized about 17 metric tons of hashish and roughly €1.4 million in cash, and they arrested 27 people linked to the site.
- Investigators arrested a Moroccan suspect dubbed the “Narco-Architect” on March 26 during Operation Ares, accusing him of designing the tunnels.
- Parts of the structure are flooded, so the total length and the exit in Morocco remain unknown as teams pump out water.
- Investigators report distribution from Ceuta into European markets, mainly the Netherlands, with alleged links to the Mocro Maffia still under review.
