"Worthy of a movie": drug mafia dug a tunnel from Morocco to Spain

The drug mafia dug a tunnel from Morocco to Spain, reports "DW❶❷ in Russian."

"The police found a network of multi-level tunnels at a depth of up to 19 meters between Morocco and Ceuta — the Spanish exclave in north Africa. The entrance to the tunnels in Spain was hidden behind a refrigerator in one of the houses. Investigators described the structure as a "mine-like labyrinth" and noted that it was "worthy of a movie." In particular, trolleys and cranes were used to move drugs," the report says.

250 police officers participated in the operation to find the tunnel. 27 suspects were arrested, 17 tons of hashish and about 1.4 million euros in cash were seized, as well as several luxury cars and smartphones.
