Spain’s Interior Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, has requested clarification from the head of the National Police regarding potential prior knowledge of Moroccan involvement in the mass assault on the Ceuta border on July 30th. Marlaska sent a letter to Juan Pardo Piqueras seeking to understand if the police possessed information suggesting Moroccan gendarmes were implicated in the incident. This demand arises from information recently submitted to the National Court regarding the alleged involvement of Moroccan officials. The Minister stated he was unaware of the details provided to the court concerning Morocco’s potential role. The event, which saw thousands of migrants cross into Spanish territory, caused a significant diplomatic row between Spain and Morocco. The request for clarification suggests a deepening investigation into the circumstances surrounding the border breach and potential collusion. Marlaska’s move aims to establish a clear understanding of the intelligence available to Spanish authorities.
