National Guard Units Dismantle International Drug Trafficking Network
National Guard units have successfully dismantled a major international network specializing in the importation and distribution of narcotics, following a thorough intelligence operation.
The operation resulted in the seizure of over 420 kg of cannabis (zatla) and two vehicles used in the criminal activities. Two members of the network were arrested, while a third is on the run to an unknown destination, according to a statement released on Thursday evening, December 4, 2025, by the General Directorate of the National Guard.
Key Findings
- The criminal network was led by a group based in a European country.
- The Public Prosecutor's Office in Nabeul authorized the Central Brigade for Combating Drugs in Laaouina to pursue investigations, detain suspects, and issue arrest warrants for seven other individuals.
Ongoing Efforts
This operation is part of the ongoing efforts by Tunisian authorities to combat the possession, consumption, and distribution of all types of narcotics, and to track down active players in this field. The National Guard's success in dismantling this network demonstrates the effectiveness of their strategies and commitment to combating drug trafficking.
