Clandestine communication network linked to hostile entities dismantled in Tipaza

The National Gendarmerie has dismantled an organized criminal network in Tipaza, which included a Moroccan national, as reported by the Ministry of National Defense this Wednesday. The network was operating an illegal electronic communication system designed to facilitate secure links with hostile foreign entities. By utilizing sophisticated technical equipment, the group aimed to conceal user identities and bypass security controls. The operation led to the arrest of the suspects and the seizure of substantial equipment, including 22 call-transfer devices, 19 mobile phones, various SIM cards, computing gear, a vehicle, and 950,000 dinars in cash. The Ministry emphasized that this operation highlights the ongoing vigilance of the armed forces against threats and malicious plans directed at the nation.
