    This disclosure comes one day after the Basra Police Command announced the dismantling of a network for promoting and smuggling drugs in the governorate, speaking of the seizure of the network’s possession of narcotic materials and pills.
    Last Friday, the commander of the Narcotics Control Directorate in the Iraqi Ministry of Interior, Major General Mazen Kamel Mansour, spoke to the official Iraqi News Agency (INA) about "loopholes" that traffickers exploit to smuggle drugs into Iraq, explaining that "there are no specific border outlets for the purpose of smuggling." Drugs, but there are loopholes on the Iraqi borders, whether with Iran or Syria, that traffickers exploit to smuggle drugs. "

    Regarding the number of drug traffickers and smugglers who were arrested, Major General Mansour emphasized that "in 2020, the Directorate was able to arrest more than 7 thousand people, more than 4 thousand of whom were sentenced, while the rest are still under investigation stages for the purpose of referring them."

    In this context, Abdul Khaleq Al-Azzawi, a member of the Security and Defense Committee in the Iraqi Parliament, called on the Iraqi government and the competent authorities to "pay attention to the naval forces and river police, to prevent the use of Iraq's waters as a conduit for the smuggling of drugs, weapons and various contraband." ".
    Al-Azzawi indicated that "there are specialized marine mafias that exploit the loopholes, because there is no control and control of some waterways with some neighboring countries, and they use these loopholes in smuggling operations, whether drugs, weapons and others."
    The Iraqi MP considered that "forming a special river force to fill such gaps is of utmost importance, with the necessity that this include other Iraqi provinces. Controlling waterways and tightening gaps in them is no less dangerous than holding and controlling the Iraqi land borders with neighboring countries."
