A Moroccan police officer submitted a request for political asylum to Spanish authorities last night at the Tarajal border crossing, which connects Morocco to Ceuta, triggering confusion and prompting urgent communications with high-level officials in the city, according to exclusive sources cited by local newspaper El Faro de Ceuta. It remains unclear whether the request was accepted or what type of international protection might be granted. However, the same sources confirmed that the case is currently under review by the competent authorities. This incident adds to a series of similar cases in recent years, in which members of Morocco's auxiliary forces have attempted to enter Ceuta, either by swimming or through smuggling routes, with the aim of seeking asylum, according to the same source.
