Summary of Criminal Network Dismantling in Algeria
In a significant law enforcement operation, the Algerian security services recently dismantled a criminal network involved in counterfeiting currency. The operation, conducted by the Mobile Brigade of the Judicial Police (BMPJ) based in Baba Ali, revealed the network’s illicit activities of producing fake foreign currency intended for circulation within the national market. This operation is vital as it aims to protect the national economy from threats posed by counterfeit money.
The authorities received crucial intelligence alerting them to an individual in Birtouta who was in possession of counterfeit currency. Acting on this information, a well-coordinated security plan was established, which led to the apprehension of five members of the criminal group.
During the operation, the police seized a considerable amount of counterfeit money, totaling approximately €105,300. Additionally, they confiscated equipment used for counterfeiting, prohibited knives, and a passenger vehicle.
Following the completion of all legal procedures, the arrested individuals will be presented to the relevant judicial authorities. They face serious charges, including forming an association to commit crimes that jeopardize the national economy, counterfeiting, and distributing currency that is legally recognized within the country.
This operation underscores the ongoing efforts of Algerian authorities to combat counterfeiting and safeguard economic stability. The successful dismantling of this network reflects a strong commitment to law enforcement and the protection of national interests.
