The Iraqi Ministry of the Interior announced the dismantling of an international network involved in drug trafficking in a neighboring country, and the arrest of four of its members, in addition to the seizure of 20 kilograms of the narcotic marijuana, in an intelligence operation that spread outside of Iraq. The office explained that the operation began by seducing a member of the network and arresting him red-handed inside the territory of the neighboring country, before confessions and the information he provided led to the exposure of the other members of the network and the determination of the expansion of its activities, which led to the arrest of three additional defendants.
