The CNI concludes that Morocco was “fully aware” and acted “passively” in the face of the mass entry into Ceuta

Spain's National Intelligence Center (CNI) has concluded in a report that Moroccan authorities were fully aware of an impending mass border crossing into Ceuta in late July and acted with passivity, contributing to the overwhelming of the frontier security apparatus. Meanwhile, the legal and investigative fallout continues as the National Court, through Judge María Tardón, has granted the National Police an unextendable three-day deadline to submit all alerts and reports concerning the unauthorized entry event.

The findings place renewed focus on the diplomatic and operational dynamics between Spain and Morocco during the border crisis. The simultaneous demand by the judiciary for internal police communications indicates ongoing official scrutiny into how security forces handled the intelligence and warnings leading up to the large-scale arrival.
