The Torremolinos investigating court ordered the provisional detention on Friday of a 25-year-old Moroccan, arrested for stabbing his ex-girlfriend in Benalmádena.
Morocco takes note of Spain’s decision not to have informed it of the presence of the Polisario leader on its territory and will "draw all the consequences" from it, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Residing Abroad said.
The Spanish High Court of the Audiencia Nacional has formally denied reports of a probable hearing of Brahim Ghali , the Polisario leader, who was admitted to a hospital in Logroño, near Zaragoza, under the assumed name of Mohamed Ben Battouche, of Algerian nationality.
Arancha Gonzalez Laya, Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of Spain, reacted to the upcoming hearing of Brahim Ghali . The magistrate Santiago Pedraz Gomez, the investigating judge in Madrid, had issued a summons for the hearing of the Polisario leader following a complaint filed by El Fadel Breika, one of their dissidents, for "kidnapping, arbitrary detention and torture" in the Tindouf prisons. Initially scheduled for May 5, it has been postponed to Friday, May 7.
One of the two Moroccan suspected jihadists arrested in Bolaños de Calatrava (Ciudad Real) in May 2020 was sentenced to two years in prison for indoctrination. The second was released. The prosecution had requested three and a half years in prison against them.
The Spanish government said on Tuesday that the holding of this year’s Marhaba Operation will depend on the epidemiological situation in Spain and Morocco.
Initially scheduled for this Wednesday, May 5, the hearing of Brahim Ghali, leader of the Polisario, hospitalized in Logroño since April 21, has been postponed to Friday. This is the decision of the judge of the Audiencia Nacional, Santiago Pedraz Gomez.
Morocco continues to put pressure on Spain and this has intensified in recent days following the reception of Brahim Ghali. The Kingdom, which should organize the Marhaba operation dedicated to Moroccans living abroad this year, could exclude the two enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla.
The Spanish police have arrested a man, presumed to be the author of fake PCR tests that he sells to Moroccan-origin citizens wishing to travel to Morocco.
No doubt about the summoning of Brahim Ghali , the Polisario leader hospitalized in Logroño since April 21. Judge Santiago Pedraz Gomez of the Madrid court has indeed issued a summons for his hearing on May 5, as well as that of other influential members of the separatist movement.
Spanish National Police officers arrested on Sunday a 25-year-old Moroccan man who tried to stab a police officer who was chasing him. The suspect is said to be involved in an armed robbery.
Brahim Ghali , the Polisario leader currently hospitalized in Logroño, should face Spanish justice. Madrid investigating judge Santiago Pedraz Gomez would have issued a summons for his hearing on May 5, as well as that of other influential members of the separatist movement, following a complaint filed by one of their dissidents for "kidnapping, arbitrary detention and torture" in the Tindouf prisons.
