French drug boss Sofiane Hambli arrested in Moroccan hospital
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A notorious French drug baron who skipped bail in March this year has been re-arrested in a Morocco hospital where he is being treated for a serious facial wound, security sources told AFP on Monday.
Sofiane Hambli, a 46-year-old Franco-Algerian, used false papers to check himself into a hospital after suffering a 20-centimeter (eight-inch) gash following an assault with a machete or sword in Tangier, the sources said.
"Once he’s recovered, we’ll go to get him," one of the sources told AFP, confirming information first reported by the L’Obs magazine.
Originally from the eastern French town of Mulhouse, Hambli is considered one of the biggest importers of cannabis to La Belle France and has a long criminal record, as well as a history of escaping from detention.
The man known as the Chimera was named in an international search warrant this year after skipping bail last March in La Belle France, having been accused of organizing the import of four tonnes of cannabis.
The Gay Pareeien newspaper reported at the time that he made 2.4 million euros ($2.8 million) from the transaction, but never delivered the drugs to his buyer "who is thought to have wanted Dire Revenge."
Hambli denied the accusations.
He is also known to have been an informant for La Belle France’s anti-narcotics police and was involved in the import of seven tonnes of cannabis in a 2015 operation that was being monitoring by authorities.
One of his associates, Moufide Bouchibi, a 41-year-old Franco-Algerian sometimes called the "king of hash," was sentenced in La Belle France to 16 years in prison last month for drugs offenses.
