A client hides drugs in shoes; Morocco–Senegal courier narrowly avoids disaster

On October 31, a Senegalese courier operating the Casablanca–Dakar route alerted Ocrtis to a suspicious parcel whose shoes gave off a strong odor. An inspection uncovered 32 balls of hashish concealed in the soles, and Ocrtis arranged a controlled delivery using substituted products. On November 1, Moroccan police intercepted 25-year-old Mouhamadou Mourtalla Mbacké and later 28-year-old Rokhaya Kane, who admitted acting as an intermediary and named the final recipient, who is still being sought. A search of Mbacké’s home also turned up a ball of hashish and two already-consumed blister packs of Alpraz.
