[Maghrebia] A Moroccan appeals court upheld a 5-year jail term for Mohamed El Ouazzani, 30, better known as infamous drug baron "El Nene", MAP reported on Thursday (August 27th). Considered one of the world's biggest hashish traffickers, El Nene was serving an eight-year prison sentence for international drug trafficking and attempted murder at Kenitra Prison when he escaped to Spain in December, 2007. Spanish authorities arrested him several months later on the Spanish enclave of Ceuta and extradited him to Morocco.
