French drug gang leader arrested in Morocco

The alleged leader of a major drug gang from the southern French port city of Marseille has been arrested in Morocco, French authorities announced over the weekend.
   Marseille, France's second-largest city but also one of its poorest
metropoles, has been hit by drug-related violence.
   "One of Marseille's biggest drug traffickers was arrested in Morocco. Bravo
to the police officers who tirelessly continue the fight against drug
trafficking," French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin wrote on X, formerly
Twitter.
   He thanked the authorities of Morocco, saying "a big blow" had been dealt
to drug trafficking.
