The complaint filed against the Government delegate in Ceuta, Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano, over his actions during the migration crisis will fall under the jurisdiction of the National Court. According to El País, the judge in the autonomous city who had opened preliminary proceedings decided to send the file to magistrate María Tardón.

The main investigation is focused on the mass entry of migrants recorded on July 30 and 31, an episode that the National Court is examining for its possible serious impact on Spain’s territorial integrity, according to El País.

ABC added that the head of Court 6 in Ceuta, María de la Luz Lozano, decided to recuse herself, considering that the reported events are part of the same sequence already under investigation by the National Court. That outlet also said the Public Prosecutor’s Office had spoken in favor of the case being transferred to the central courts.

According to ABC, María Tardón’s investigation not only points to those responsible for the mass entry from Morocco, but also to the actions carried out on Spanish territory in response to the crisis, including those linked to deaths that occurred during the swim crossing.

According to that same outlet, one of the complaints was filed by Hazte Oír and sought to clarify what information Pérez Triano had before the events and what measures he took. El País, for its part, said the complaint that gave rise to the proceedings had been filed by Manos Limpias.
