Police Findings on the Ceuta Migratory Crisis
The **National Police** of Spain has reported significant developments in the investigation surrounding the **assault on Ceuta** that occurred at the end of July, during which an astonishing 72,000 individuals entered the territory irregularly within just 48 hours. According to official estimates, this mass influx was not a spontaneous event, as initially thought, but rather a coordinated effort among several assailants. This assertion contradicts the earlier belief that the influx was primarily driven by a misinterpretation of a ruling from the **Supreme Court** regarding the maritime border of the city.
These conclusions have been documented in a report submitted to Judge María Tardón of the National Court, who is leading the investigation into the unprecedented invasion that transpired on July 30 and 31.
