Overview
- The Guardia Civil report submitted to judge María Tardón records 88,146 people returned to Morocco from Ceuta and covers movements through October 27.
- The file also lists 862 maritime rescues carried out by GEAS and the Servicio Marítimo and records 90 deaths on the Spanish side linked to the late-July arrival.
- The report provides operational staffing figures for the Comandancia de la Guardia Civil in Ceuta, stating a 'fuerza en revista' of 585 on July 29 that fell to 437 by August 10 before later reinforcements raised numbers again.
- Government bodies issued widely differing estimates of how many people entered during the July 30–31 episode, with published figures ranging roughly from 49,000 to between 75,000 and 85,000, a variance that has driven public and political dispute.
- Judicial investigators are using the document in the Audiencia Nacional probe, a development that could influence political debate, force deployments, and humanitarian oversight of future border responses.
