Legal proceedings are intensifying regarding the management of a mass migration event in Ceuta during late July, which involved the entry of over 80,000 people. The investigation focuses on Government Delegate Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano following complaints from political party Vox and associations such as Manos Limpias and Hazte Oír. Allegations against Pérez Triano include malfeasance, prevarication, denial of assistance, and homicide or injury through gross negligence. The Audiencia Nacional has officially assumed the judicial investigation after Ceuta Court No. 6 agreed to transfer the case. ~~The court cited an objective and subjective connection between the local proceedings and the broader investigation into the organization and effects of the mass migration event.~~ Judge María Tardón is examining whether there was “clear and indubitable favorable management” from Morocco that facilitated the mass ~~entry, describing the situation as “criminal conduct allegedly committed abroad that has seriously attacked the territorial integrity of Spain.”~~ entry.
