Spanish Intelligence Alleges Morocco Helped Direct Ceuta Migration
(MENAFN) A Spanish police intelligence report alleges that Moroccan security forces helped organize and direct a large-scale migrant movement toward Ceuta in late July, according to reports.
The findings concern the arrival of more than 70,000 migrants and challenge the Spanish government’s previous public explanation of the border crisis.
According to the report, Moroccan gendarmes, including personnel in uniform and plain clothes, directed migrants toward the Spanish enclave in several successive groups intended to overwhelm border controls.
The document submitted to Spain’s National Court describes the crossings on July 30 and 31, when approximately 72,000 people entered the North African enclave, as a coordinated operation rather than a spontaneous movement encouraged by smugglers or social media.
The report also states that Spanish police issued a warning on July 29 about an "extreme risk" of coordinated attempts to enter Ceuta and Melilla the following day, either by swimming or crossing border fences.
The allegations increase pressure on the Spanish government over its handling of the crisis. Migration Minister Elma Saiz said Tuesday that authorities had found no evidence indicating Moroccan involvement in the mass crossings.
