Tiny Companies, Astronomical Figures: AI Exposes $130 Billion Import Scam in Algeria Copy link

Algeria Gate: International relations researcher Oumnia Bougueras said to “Algeria Gate” that the recent security operation that resulted in the seizure of 228 kg of cocaine and the arrest of 20 people, including a Moroccan, along with the seizure of sums of money in various currencies, does not appear to be merely an operation to seize large quantities of drugs, but rather an indicator of a new and more complex nature of drug-trafficking networks in Algeria.

Bougueras explained that what is striking in the operation is the diversity of the seized currencies, particularly the Moroccan dirham and the Emirati dirham, considering that this reflects the reliance of drug networks on diversifying their sources and cross-border financial channels in order to conceal the origin of the money.

The researcher added that this activity represents a form of transnational organized crime, as well as a new pattern of hybrid warfare targeting Algerian social security and human resources by targeting the youth category.

In confronting this phenomenon, the researcher confirmed that Algeria is adopting a new security approach through activating and tightening border controls, in addition to legal treatment and the renewal of penalties, noting that the recent prison in Tanezrouft reflects the determination of the Algerian authorities to confront this dangerous scourge that targets the Algerian social fabric.

However, Bougueras stressed that the scale of the threat requires societal mobilization and the involvement of various actors, including parties and civil-society associations, in order to ward off this threat facing Algerian social security and affecting its national security.

Algeria Gate: Just hours after Algerian security forces successfully seized 228 kilograms of cocaine originating from Morocco, Spanish authorities have struck again.

In a major operation south of the island of Gran Canaria, Spanish security forces intercepted a high-speed boat equipped with multiple engines coming from Morocco. On board, they seized three tons of cocaine, equivalent to 3,360 kilograms, along with an arsenal of weapons, and arrested five Moroccan traffickers.

Algeria Gate: With the countdown beginning to sever diplomatic relations with Abu Dhabi, which continues to weave despicable intrigues and plots to strike at Algeria’s stability, the UAE has this time maliciously mobilized its arms in Madrid. It is pressuring the Spanish authorities to prevent the extradition of the fake Algerian businessman Ayoub Aissiou. An Emirati businessman has been tasked with applying strong pressure to stop the handover of the oligarch, who is a fugitive in Spain and one of the most wanted by Algerian justice.

After the rescue by the Franco-Zionist lobby in Paris, it is now the turn of the UAE to mobilize its intermediaries and rally the Emirati lobby in Madrid. The goal is clear: to save a corrupt criminal fleeing Algerian justice and currently on the run outside the country.

According to Algeria Gate sources, Abu Dhabi has mobilized businessman Nasser bin Thaaloub, close to Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, advisor to the UAE National Security Apparatus.

He has been assigned to provide assistance to the former oligarch against whom an international arrest warrant has been issued and who has been sentenced in absentia to 20 years in prison on charges related to serious corruption cases.

His special mission in Spain is to engage in “political, media and financial lobbying” for the release of the so-called Ayoub Aissiou; the fugitive who squandered public Algerian treasury funds and plundered honest citizens through fictitious real estate projects.

The UAE falls into the forbidden and the Algerian response is coming

Algeria will respond forcefully and will not stand as a spectator to the dirty Emirati campaigns.

The clock moving toward a diplomatic break is about to stop. It will announce the severing of relations with the UAE and the imposition of unprecedented economic sanctions on any presence of Emirati companies operating in Algeria.

The same sources confirmed that the UAE’s intervention in the Ayoub Aissiou case “will be an extremely hostile act.”

The UAE’s intervention in the Aissiou case represents a serious escalation in the UAE’s hostile policies toward Algeria.

The same sources warned of retaliation by the Algerian authorities against the UAE, stressing that this blatant intervention “will be a very hostile act committed by the evil emirate against Algeria, and it will not go unanswered.”

According to Algeria Portal sources, Abu Dhabi sent Nasser bin Thaaloub, who resides between Paris and London, to Spain.

He has been tasked with coordinating French-Israeli political and media pressure on Spanish justice to prevent the extradition of Ayoub Aissiou to Algeria. According to the Algerian judiciary, he is involved in cases of corruption, plunder, and the smuggling of Algerians’ money.

According to the same sources, the Emirati intelligence service has established a joint operations room with French and Moroccan lobbies.

It has also commissioned well-known law firms to build a defense for Ayoub Aissiou, while spending more than 5 million euros on a media campaign in the French and Spanish press. The aim is to transform Ayoub Aissiou from a fake businessman fleeing justice into a political opponent.

Ayoub Aissiou was arrested in Spain and detained in Barcelona after arriving from Morocco on July 25 of last year on the basis of an international arrest warrant, before eventually being released on August 21.

Aissiou is being prosecuted before the Algerian judiciary in cases related to financial and commercial violations.

These include breaches of legislation governing the movement of capital to and from abroad, illicit currency transfers, money laundering, and the concealment of proceeds linked to corruption, among other charges.

The Israeli lobby in France, together with controversial French political and media figures, had previously moved to prevent his extradition to Algeria.

This raises many questions about the alleged Algerian businessman’s ties to Israeli and Moroccan intelligence.

Particular attention is drawn to the involvement of the French novelist Pascal Bruckner; known for his strongly pro-Israel positions (described in the original as support for “Nazi Israel”), in the suspicious campaign, alongside Boualem Sansal (convicted in Algeria in cases related to undermining national unity), and the Tunisian imam of Jewish origin who heads an Emirati-backed French Islamic foundation, Hassan Chalghoumi.

A controversial figure who previously visited Israel, Hebrew media at the time circulated photos of him embracing Israeli soldiers in Tel Aviv and claiming that the entity does not oppose Muslims.

In addition, there has been media support from the outlets of French businessman Vincent Bolloré, which have mobilized to prevent Aissiou’s extradition.

The UAE has chosen to cross the red line. Algeria will know how to respond.
