The Ministry of the Interior has stated this Wednesday that the director general of the National Police, Francisco Pardo, has conveyed to Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska that "there is no police report attributing to the Moroccan Security Forces the planning or execution of what happened on July 30 and 31 in Ceuta."
At the same time, the Interior has downgraded to a "frequent risk alert" the warning issued by the National Immigration and Borders Center (CENIF) on July 29, specifying that said document "did not include any reference to a possible mass entry the following day."
In a statement, the department led by Grande-Marlaska has explained that the judge of the National Court María Tardón authorized this Wednesday the investigative team to allow access of its commanders to that report, which until now remained classified.
Interior has detailed that, after requesting information from the general police stations of Information and of Immigration and Borders, the director general of the Police has reiterated to the Minister of the Interior that "there is no police report attributing to the Moroccan Security Forces the planning or execution of what happened on July 30 and 31 in Ceuta."
According to the statement, this data was collected by the director of the Police in response to the request made by Grande-Marlaska regarding a "supposed police report" that, according to some versions, would have pointed to the Moroccan Security Forces as responsible for what occurred in Ceuta, referring to the CENIF report.
Francisco Pardo has also indicated to the Interior minister that the judge of the National Court who is instructing the criminal case ordered the investigators not to convey to their superiors "any information" about the drafting and content of that report, which is why the General Directorate of the Police had no prior knowledge of it.
In relation to the warning sent by the CENIF on July 29 to the various border posts, the director general of the Police has insisted that it was a "frequent risk alert that did not include any reference to a possible mass entry the following day."
