Pictured: The secret ‘narcotunnel’ between Morocco and Spain that went undiscovered for YEARS – as ‘corrupt cops’ arrested – CSN News

This is the tunnel that drug traffickers used to smuggle hashish in large quantities between Morocco and Spain.

Guardia Civil images (shown below) reveal how an entry hole has been built into the warehouse floor in Ceuta. Ceuta is a Spanish territory located in North Africa, bordering Morocco.

A metal manhole cover that revealed a series ladders covered the entrance hole.

In a press release, the Guardia Civil stated: “A cavity of about 12 metres depth was discovered. This led to a gallery underground that ran towards the border of the Kingdom of Morocco.

It is a narrow structure, supported by wood, that would have been used for the transportation of drugs across the border from Morocco to Spain.

It added: “This is the third phase of the so-called ‘HADES’ operation, in which 14 arrests have been made in the last three weeks, two of them Guardia Civil officers.

The arrests were made in connection with the seizure three trucks which had hidden more than six tonnes hashish.

The underground network ran from a warehouse in the Tarajal industrial estate to Morocco, and was allegedly used to introduce ‘large amounts of hashish’ into Spain.

According to the local Spanish newspaper El Faro the authorities have been searching for this entry route for many years, but no one has noticed it.

The construction of the tunnel occurred behind the closed door of an industrial warehouse.

It was a good way to hide the entrance from prying eye, and the loud noises didn’t raise suspicion because it was on an industrial estate.

Once the tunnel is built, it will be used to receive massive bales hashish imported from Morocco. The bales would be loaded on trucks and transported to mainland Spain, avoiding the Guardia Civil.

El Faro reports that the discovery was made as part of an ongoing investigation into police corruption and drug trafficking.

Multiple suspects have been jailed including Guardia Civil officials as a result of the investigation, which is being conducted by Internal Affairs.

The investigation is still ongoing, so no names or details of the accused were released.

Spanish authorities have been searching for the source of large quantities of hashish that arrive from Ceuta on trucks to mainland Spain since at least 2023.
