Moreno: Morocco accepts Juan Carlos T. B.’s extradition, Spanish newspaper reports
Morocco has accepted the extradition of Juan Carlos T. B., known as Moreno, to Spain, La Vanguardia reports on 28 October. The alleged leader of an international hashish network has been detained in Morocco since his arrest on 8 October. No transfer date is confirmed.
The investigation began in early 2025. The organisation allegedly brought hashish from Morocco through Spain’s coast to storage locations around Madrid. Police say the drugs were then distributed in Spain and elsewhere in Europe. Investigators dismantled seven storage and distribution sites.
The investigation also examines the financial structure. Suspects allegedly laundered proceeds through front companies, false invoices, fictitious salaries, loans arranged through nominees, and investments in luxury property and vehicles.
The source reports 10,800kg of hashish, almost €466,000 and 25 vehicles seized in total. Eighteen suspects were remanded in custody. The alleged leader was arrested in Morocco on 8 October and extradition is being prepared. The investigation remains open.
Europa Press identifies the alleged leader as Juan Carlos T. B., known as Moreno. Investigators attribute supplier contacts, transport and storage coordination to him.
La Vanguardia reports on 28 October that Morocco has accepted Juan Carlos T. B.’s extradition to Spain. The newspaper expects he could appear before the Audiencia Nacional in around two months.
