Police Chief Pardo Denies CENIF Report Blames Morocco, Contradicting Leaked Document

| Ceuta / Schengen Crisis

National Police Director General Francisco Pardo tells Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska in writing that no police report attributes the planning or execution of the July 30-31 mass crossing to Moroccan security forces — directly contradicting the CENIF intelligence document that surfaced Sept 1 via El Español describing Moroccan gendarmes actively guiding migrants toward Tarajal. Marlaska demands an explanation for why the report's existence reached the press before reaching him or the National Security Council, writing that 'any such information should have immediately been made available to the National Security Council.' The clarification reinforces PM Sánchez's line that no institution has produced solid evidence of Moroccan state involvement, while deepening confusion over what the underlying CENIF document actually concludes.
