Tipaza: Intelligence network dismantled for using illegal communication systems

The National Gendarmerie in Tipaza, part of the First Military Region, has dismantled a criminal network involved in espionage for hostile foreign entities. According to the Ministry of National Defense, the group, which included a Moroccan national, operated an illegal electronic communication system. This infrastructure was designed to bypass security monitoring and facilitate secret communications both domestically and abroad. The operation resulted in the arrest of several suspects and the seizure of advanced equipment, including 22 call-forwarding devices, 19 mobile phones, computer hardware, a car, and 95,000 DA in cash. This successful intervention highlights the readiness of the Algerian army to counter criminal threats and thwart hostile schemes against the nation.
