National Guard units based in Kasserine dismantled several drug-trafficking networks in a series of operations across several regions.[1] Officers arrested 11 suspects during those operations, a group that included foreign nationals.[1] The operations were directed by the central anti-drug brigade based in Ben Arous.[1] They were carried out in Greater Tunis, in Monastir, in Sousse and in Kasserine.[1] One of the networks operated internationally, with part of it operating from abroad.[1]
Officers seized 9.7 kilograms of cannabis, corresponding to 97 slabs, alongside 3.6 kilograms of cocaine.[1] They also seized sums of money and four vehicles that had been used to transport the drugs.[1]
The Directorate General of the National Guard announced the results in a statement published on Tuesday 1 April 2025.[1] That statement described the seizures as significant quantities of cocaine and cannabis from the dismantled networks.[1] The 9.7-kilogram cannabis amount stands separate from the cocaine amount and forms the cannabis component of this mixed seizure.[1]
