A police report on the events in Ceuta points to the possible involvement of “individuals linked to Morocco’s security forces” in organising the large arrival of people into the city.
A document prepared by the Spanish National Police concludes that “we are not dealing with a spontaneous or random event” regarding the influx into the autonomous city. According to the police, the “incursion” of Ceuta was directed by “individuals linked to Morocco’s security forces, as well as individuals or entities with the necessary capabilities and experience to participate in planning the process.” The report, cited by ABC, was sent to the National Court.
The document, submitted last Monday to Judge María Tardón, strengthens suspicions of a “Moroccan trail” and calls into question the version presented by the government of Pedro Sánchez regarding the activity of mafia groups. The “planned and executed process through coordination of the relevant participants” involved individuals with “high capability in social networks.” Police were unable to identify who exactly belongs to this level of responsibility.
Scale and planning of the “incursion”
The CENIF report estimates that between 75,000 and 85,000 people entered Ceuta. The calculation takes into account that the border area of El Tarajal was practically non‑functional for 10 hours, according to data collected by the foreign affairs unit.
Agents believe the “incursion” was preceded by “prior planning” and therefore involved “intellectual and direct organisation,” as well as “strategic and operational leadership acting in accordance with clearly defined procedures at various stages of the process.”
They also state that “the migration goal serves only as a formal cover,” which is confirmed by the “undeniable fact“: only about 10% of the total number of people who crossed into Ceuta remained on Spanish territory.
The police warn that the large arrival was a process “with objectives different from migration” and occurred “in clearly defined time frames,” during which two key factors were observed: “minimal presence of Morocco’s security forces and agencies” and “active direction of the masses toward border crossing points by these forces.”
The report also emphasises the “high level of specialisation” behind the event, which “is beyond the capacity of any known criminal structures in the area and far exceeds the capabilities of the few large networks operating in illegal immigration in Morocco.”
In their conclusions, the agents tell the National Court that the method of entry into Ceuta aimed to “paralyse the border‑control system at a specific location and in a specific manner.” “After achieving the paralysis, which opens the gates, the goal becomes to remove Spain’s ability to respond,” the document adds.
