The Director General of the National Police, Francisco Pardo, has informed the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, that “there is no police report whatsoever” attributing to Morocco the planning or execution of what happened on July 30 and 31 in Ceuta, according to a statement from the Ministry of the Interior.

This response comes after the Interior Minister, through a letter, demanded that he clarify the supposed content of a report sent to the National Court that would place Moroccan gendarmes at the head of the planning and who executed the massive crossing through which more than 70,000 people entered the autonomous city.
After the letter, Pardo met this morning with Commissioner Julián Ávila, head of the General Commissariat of Immigration and Borders, whose agents signed the report sent to the National Court. The meeting was also joined by the top official of the General Commissariat of Information, Javier Antonio Susín.
After the meeting, the top police official informed the minister that the judge of the National Court “gave orders to the investigators not to provide their superiors with any information about the preparation and content of said report,” so the Director General of the Police had no prior knowledge of it.

Today, Judge María Tardón has authorized the investigative team to give access to their superiors to said report. Once requested from the General Commissariats of Information and Immigration and Borders, the Director General of the Police explained that the police report does not point to Rabat as responsible or promoter of the massive entry of people that took place on the past 30th and 31st.
Furthermore, regarding the warning that the National Immigration and Borders Center (CENIF) sent on July 29, one day before the avalanche, to the border posts, the Director General of the Police explains that “it was a frequent risk alert that did not include any reference to a possible massive entry like the one the next day.”
