Moroccan justice has delivered its decision in the drugs case known as "Escobar". The final convictions amount to ten and twelve years' imprisonment for two of the main defendants, according to lopinion.ma.
Said Naciri and Abdenbi Bioui receive these severe sentences respectively. The case, which made headlines, concerns a vast narcotics network operating on national territory. Investigators had uncovered a structured organisation involved in the distribution of large quantities of drugs.
This judgment comes after several hearings before the competent court in Casablanca. The judges found the defendants guilty of charges related to the illicit trafficking of psychotropic substances and criminal conspiracy.
