Airline Employees Caught Smuggling Gold Bars Abroad Amidst Widespread Use of Chemical Agents
Corruption and Illegal Activities on the Rise in Algeria
A recent investigation has uncovered a shocking revelation: airline employees have been involved in smuggling gold bars abroad, highlighting the growing problem of corruption and illegal activities in Algeria. This discovery is particularly alarming given the country’s reputation for being a major player in the global fight against transnational organized crime.
The Growing Problem of Chemical Agents
Experts warn that the use of chemical agents such as mercury and lead is becoming increasingly prevalent in Algeria, with widespread implications for public health and safety. Mercury, in particular, has been linked to serious neurological damage and kidney problems, while lead exposure can cause developmental delays and even death.

The Link Between Chemical Agents and the Drug Trade
The investigation into airline employees smuggling gold bars abroad comes amidst a growing trend of corruption and illegal activities in Algeria. The country’s heroin market is small due to its lack of cultural appeal and geographical location away from major trafficking routes. However, cocaine trafficking has become increasingly prevalent, with the country serving as a key transit point for drugs bound for Europe.
