Morocco knew that preparations were being made for the entry of migrants into Ceuta, according to the CNI

The Spanish National Intelligence Centre (CNI) has submitted a report to Judge María Tardón of the National High Court investigating the entry of migrants into Ceuta at the end of July, stating that Morocco knew in advance that a mass entry was being prepared on 30 and 31 July.

According to the secret services, investigations have continued to "determine in greater detail what happened after the most serious phase of the crisis" and have determined that much of the information and analysis contained in the report is based on investigations conducted after 31 July.

"These investigations have made it possible to confirm thatthe Moroccan authorities were aware, days before the mass entry, that an anomalous situation was occurring in relation to possible attempts at irregular access to Ceuta and that they had decided to strengthen the security apparatus that existed until then, "the report states, adding that the Moroccan authorities" were fully aware of the existence of calls on social networks. " 

However, according to the CNI, "in practice they showed a very irregular involvement in the prevention and control of the crisis. " The fact is that, until the day before the mass entry," they showed some proactivity in stopping those trying to swim. "However, when the influx began to increase," the deployment of the security forces was not enough, "says the CNI, adding that when" control of the situation was lost, the Moroccan authorities did not have a proactive reaction.
