Overview
- The Centro Nacional de Inteligencia delivered a 22‑page dossier dated October 14 to Judge María Tardón that concludes Moroccan authorities were “fully aware” days before the mass entries into Ceuta on July 30–31.
- The report says the CNI sent an ‘urgent alert’ the day before the crossing to Morocco’s DGST and DGED that detailed the likely timing, dimension and risk of a mass assault.
- Spanish spies found that Moroccan security forces narrowed their response as the flow rose, prioritizing the Throne Day celebrations near Rincón and adopting stronger measures only after the peak.
- The dossier contradicts earlier public statements from Madrid that there had been no prior warning and has intensified judicial scrutiny, political criticism and calls for wider declassification of related documents.
- The episode left more than 70,000 people in Ceuta over two days and about 140 dead, and the CNI file deepens diplomatic strain with Morocco while shaping possible legal and policy changes on border control.
