A 60-year-old man, known as 'Peter Pan,' was intercepted at sea while attempting to smuggle five tons of hashish from Morocco to Marseille. The operation involved three separate crossings, according to French maritime authorities.
The suspect, who claims to be a pioneer in hashish trafficking through the Strait of Gibraltar, stated he has made approximately 350 trips since his first in 1987. However, these claims could not be independently verified by news sources.
The interception occurred on July 18, 2026, when French customs officials stopped a vessel carrying the drugs. The hashish was destined for the Marseille area, a known hub for drug trafficking in southern France.
Authorities have not released further details about the suspect's identity or the exact location of the interception. The case is under investigation by French judicial authorities.
