The National Guard is arresting an Algerian unit for drug trafficking in Sousse

The Central Anti-Drug Squad of the National Guard's Research Sub-Directorate has issued a statement saying that on Wednesday 11 November 2026 a foreign criminal with Algerian nationality was arrested in Sousse. The field operation came after continuous security follow-up of suspicious interest movements within the area.

A security source reported that the suspect is classified as too much for his involvement in several criminal operations that focused primarily on drug trafficking and promotion. The same source explained that the person in question was under intense security pursuit due to several official search warrants being issued against him by Algerian security units for his association with organized crime activities.

The security investigations confirmed that the operation took place after a precise field survey carried out by the competent units of the National Guard with the sample, which enabled the location of the desired element and its location in its residence to be determined easily. Field follow-up showed that the defendant continued his criminal activity in secret by hiding and moving to avoid prosecution.

This prosecution is part of the security interventions aimed at seizing elements of criminal networks active in promoting prohibitions and tracking prosecutors in illicit drug trafficking cases.
