The National Court has scheduled for next 10 November the appearance of four protected witnesses in the procedure in which the arrival of thousands of people from Morocco to Ceuta at the end of last July is being analyzed.
Thus it is reflected in an order to which Europa Press has had access, signed by the judge Santiago Pedraz, who acts in place of the investigating magistrate, María Tardón, and in which the request made by the National Center for Immigration and Borders (CENIF) of the National Police is accepted.
In a report sent to Tardón, the CENIF attributed to the Forces and Security Forces of Morocco "the active guidance of the mass towards crossing points" during the entry of thousands of immigrants into Ceuta at the end of July, and it also maintained that there was "planning," both "prior" and "tactical."
The document also referred to a "high-level specialization" that "is not within the reach of any criminal structure known by the Police in that area and that are far from the capacities of the few substantial structures that operate in the field of irregular immigration in Morocco."
In that same report, it was highlighted "the low presence of the Forces and Security Forces of Morocco" and "the 'active guidance' of the mass towards the crossing points, by those Forces and Security Forces."
The CENIF also emphasized the existence of a "strategic direction," by estimating "it is evident that there is a process of streamlining and viralization of messages, activation and deactivation of profiles on social networks and messaging systems, the counter-narrative and the disinformation associated with external elements."
In addition, the specialized center referred to the "perception" of being faced with "a predefined process with different objectives from those of the migrants," something to which, it added, contribute "the generalized facilitation of the routes and transfers to converge in a specific place, in time segments also very clearly defined, and management that favors which is projected in two different planes that operate almost simultaneously both upon entry and upon exit from Spanish territory."
The report reiterated, lastly, the existence of a "high-level specialization" that "is not within the reach of any criminal structure known by the Police in that area and that is very far from the capabilities of the few structures of entity that operate in the field of irregular immigration in Morocco".
