Spanish police denies that report blames Morocco for Ceuta

Spain's National Police today denied that a report drawn up on Ceuta attributes to Moroccan security forces "the planning or execution" of the entry of more than 70,000 people into the Spanish city. The assurance was transmitted to the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, by the director of Spain's National Police, Francisco Pardo. The information was confirmed by the Ministry of the Interior. The Spanish press had reported that a report from Spain's National Police had been sent to a court. Ceuta faced a massive migratory crisis when more than 70,000 people crossed the border toward the Spanish city. The report was related to the circumstances that led to this unprecedented migratory flow. The official position of the Spanish police contradicts the news that suggested an attribution of responsibility to the Moroccan authorities for the incident.
