The Pablo Escobar of the Sahara pulls the blanket of corruption of the ruling class in Morocco. Accusations launched from prison by a Malian drug trafficking boss lead to the arrest of senior officials linked to the world of football and construction.
El Escobar del Sáhara, also known as El Maliense, was arrested in 2019 at the Casablanca airport after having traveled from Mauritania. A Moroccan court sentenced him to 10 years in prison also for being responsible for a multinational drug trafficking plot.
