Paris: the ex-wife of a Moroccan, head of a criminal network, finds freedom

Tunisian singer Amira, 36, ex-partner of the leader of the Moroccan smugglers network “El Tetwani”, was released under judicial supervision on Friday by the Paris investigating chamber.

Indicted last April by a judge from Junalco (National Jurisdiction for the Fight against Organized Crime), Amira was placed in detention, along with eleven other members of this network of smugglers accused of a crime of “trafficking in ‘human beings in organized gangs and crimes of aiding the entry of foreigners, forgery and use of forged documents’. The gang, made up of Moroccan and Serbian criminals, was very active between 2022 and 2023 in the Paris region, more precisely in Bobigny, and abroad, notably in Tunisia and Serbia, relays The Parisian. During the period, they allegedly helped thousands of migrants enter illegally into Île-de-France, a traffic which would have earned them millions of euros.
