In late spring 2021, the port city of Agadir – a major tourist hub and the “capital of the Souss” – became the epicenter of a clandestine investigation code-named Operation Belguel. Named after a fictitious import-export company (“Belguel SARL”), the case allegedly linked Moroccan land developers, Belgian Moroccan drug lords, and customs officers at Agadir’s commercial port.
