Judge María Tardón of the National High Court (AN) has taken overthe investigation into the migration crisis in Ceuta at the end of July and referred to Morocco's "permissive and favourable" attitude to the trial, in which 140 people — 83 in Spanish waters — died.
In his order to assume the competence to investigate what happened, Tardón explains that it was "an alleged criminal conduct committed abroad that seriously attacked the territorial integrity of Spain and violated the lives and rights of Ceuta's neighbours."
For the judge, "it has become apparent that the Kingdom of Morocco had clear andunequivocal management in favour of the trial ", eta and that the behaviour of the Moroccan security forces was" graphically verified ".
In his car, Tardón cites the report of the National Immigration and Border Centre of the Spanish police, which states that the events of the end of July were not spontaneous and considers that the Moroccan forces "guided" the migrants .
It became apparent that uniformed officers had instructed those who were illegally crossing the border to overcome obstacles and reach Fnideq Beach in Castillejos, Morocco, and direct them into the water.
In addition to those dressed as policemen, the judge points out that there were people who were dynamizing and driving migrants, and that sometimes they were instructed by uniformed officers.
In the first phase, Moroccans aged 15 to 25 with neoprenes and fins entered, in the second phase, families and children in sportswear and without any equipment, and in the third phase, people with first-stage characteristics crossed the border.
He will also investigate the response to the alert.
The judge will also investigate the response to the crisis, the information provided and the alerts sent.
Tardon has detected different levels of responsibility, but for the time being he has not identified those responsible by name and surname. He has placed the migrants who crossed the border on a first level; the migrants who were harassed on social media; the migrants on the third level, the agents who led the migrants and the ununiformed people. He has also mentioned a fourth level in the car and included those who organised the process.
