The National High Court is investigating whether the entry of migrants into Ceuta was an organized act
The National High Court has opened an investigation to determine whether the massive influx of migrants into Ceuta on 30 and 31 July was an organized act. Judge María Tardón has opened preliminary proceedings and requested a report from the National Police Aliens and Border Police Station (UCRIF) on what happened.
The purpose of this report is to determine whether there is evidence that the arrival of thousands of persons from Moroccowas the result of an activity agreed upon or directed by a criminal organization or group . The judge has also requested that all available identification elements be provided with respect to the participants in these events.
The investigation has been initiated following a European complaint by Iustitia calling for the investigation of crimes against State security, against the nation, against illegal migration and failure to prosecute trafficking in persons, criminal organization and crimes.
The judge states in the order that the facts complained of contain indications that there may be a criminal offence, although he has yet to determine whether the National High Court is competent to take over the investigation.
In its complaint, Iustitia Europa states that the mobilisation of thousands of people from Morocco cannot be seen as a sudden migration phenomenon, but as an activity coordinated by the concentration of people who crossed the border in a short space of time, as well as the possibility of relaxing border controls on the Moroccan side, which will have to be analysed within the framework of the open proceedings.
The migration crisis occurred on 30 and 31 July, when thousands of people entered Ceuta from the Tarajal spigot. On Monday, according to the Ceuta Government,the numberof people killed in this crisis is 88, due to the massive influx recorded on those days.
