Internal documentation declassified by the Spanish Government confirmed that Spanish intelligence services warned Spanish and Moroccan authorities about possible entries into Ceuta "through the fences and by sea", one day before these events occurred.
Ceuta is a Spanish enclave located in northern Africa, bordering Morocco. The declassified documentation reveals that there was prior information about the possibility of massive entry attempts into the Spanish territory.
The authorities of both countries were alerted through secret communications about the risks of irregular entries at the land and sea border of Ceuta.
The Spanish Government took the decision to declassify these documents, now allowing the details of the warnings that were transmitted to the authorities before the incidents occurred at the Ceuta border to be known.
