Moroccan coast guards arrest 23 Moroccan illegal emigrants

The Moroccan royal navy arrested on Tuesday a group of 23 Moroccans who were trying to reach illegally the Spanish territory.

The Moroccan coast guards announced that they found at 2.5 marine miles off the Moroccan northern coast an engine-operated small inflatable boat with 23 men onboard.

Twelve mobile phone sets and a total sum of 7,000 DH (less than $ 700) were seized.

After receiving first health care, the group was referred to justice.
