The Tunisian National Guard took down a large drug smuggling operation that conducted business within the metropolitan area of Tunis. The Hay Hlal operation resulted in three main arrestees while security forces took possession of 20 cannabis plaques.
The national drug policy of Tunisia implements this tactical move as a solution to fight against mounting problems in illicit drug manufacturing and distribution.
The government has strengthened its drug operations through various successful interferences across recent months. The security forces from December 2024 successfully interrupted a drug trafficking operation in Siliana province by arresting three suspects and seizing drug pills and sharp instruments along with cash. For the second time that month law enforcement conducted an operation in Tunis which resulted in cocaine seizure of 3.5 kilograms.
Through these activities the Tunisian government demonstrates its absolute dedication to dismantling illegal drug operations while protecting national health and security. The National Guard demonstrates a complete strategy to eliminate drug-related criminal organizations throughout the country by taking early action.
The investigative process continues while authorities plan to sustain their focused drug trafficking suppression efforts to eliminate active networks and stop illicit substance spread within Tunisia.
