Marlaska exige al director de la Policía que aclare si disponen de información sobre que Marruecos estuvo tras el asalto masivo a Ceuta

El titular de Interior asegura en una carta a Pardo Piqueras que desconoce la información entregada a la Audiencia Nacional sobre la implicación de gendarmes marroquíes en los hechos del 30 de julio

Marlaska exige al director de la Policía que aclare si disponen de información sobre que Marruecos estuvo tras el asalto masivo a Ceuta

Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska has demanded the head of the police clarify whether they possess information regarding Morocco's alleged involvement in the massive assault on Ceuta. Director Francisco Pardo Piqueras assured Grande-Marlaska that the report presented to the National Court, pointing out prior warnings of significant migratory flows in Ceuta, does not attribute the crisis to Morocco for its planning or execution.

The report was compiled by the National Center for Immigration and Frontiers (CENIF), a kind of intelligence body within the General Commission for Extradition. However, Piqueras was unaware of its content as the court had instructed police not to share any information about its creation or content with their superiors. The Spanish newspaper El País published the revelation that Tardón had the dossier on her desk, alleging that Moroccan gendarmes, on the orders of Spanish agents, guided migrants to collapse the border system and violate the Spanish border under the guise of an immigration problem.

This news hit the government like a cold bucket of water, as they were unaware of the document's contents, which they had submitted to the National Court. Grande-Marlaska demanded that the police director provide evidence of the police's possession of this information, stating that it is crucial for the government to adopt appropriate decisions in Ceuta, exercising its constitutional duties in internal and external policy and defending the state.
