El Tarajal

El Tarajal is an industrial area in Ceuta, a Spanish autonomous city bordering Morocco. It has recently gained notoriety due to the discovery of sophisticated drug trafficking tunnels originating in Morocco and extending into El Tarajal. These tunnels are used to smuggle large quantities of hashish into Spain, destined for distribution throughout Europe, including France. The tunnels are engineered with advanced features like rail systems and multiple levels, suggesting significant investment and planning. Recent police operations have uncovered these tunnels, leading to investigations into the networks involved, including a suspected architect dubbed the 'narco-architect.' The discovery highlights the ongoing challenge of cross-border drug trafficking and the innovative methods employed by criminal organizations operating in the region.
