El Jadida: Gendarmerie seizes 420 litres of illicit eau-de-vie and 1,260 kilogrammes of fermented figs
In a meticulously orchestrated operation, elements of the Royal Gendarmerie of Khmiss Mtouh struck a major blow this Tuesday, January 7, 2025. On the banks of the Oued Oum Er-Rbia, under the supervision of the centre chief, law enforcement officers successfully seized an impressive quantity of artisanal eau-de-vie and materials intended for its production.
​El Jadida: Gendarmerie seizes 420 litres of illicit eau-de-vie and 1,260 kilograms of fermented figs
The toll of this intervention is eloquent: 420 litres of illicit eau-de-vie and 1,260 kilograms of fermented figs, used for distillation, were confiscated. The gendarmes also seized several pieces of equipment used for this clandestine activity, revealing a well-organised network.

However, the operation was not without its challenges: those responsible for this trafficking, alerted by the arrival of law enforcement, fled. This new episode illustrates the difficulties encountered by the authorities in their fight against this scourge.

This seizure is part of a global strategy to combat illegal activities, aimed at protecting youth and public health from the dangers associated with these substances. It also reflects the unwavering determination of the security forces to ensure a serene environment for citizens.

An in-depth investigation is underway to apprehend the fugitives and completely dismantle this network. The authorities call for increased citizen vigilance and active collaboration to eradicate these harmful practices.
