Moroccan police and truck at Ceuta border: what is known about the viral video
Google News ES — Crime (es) reports on verification published by Maldita.es of a video circulating on social media showing a Moroccan police officer allegedly allowing a truck to transport dozens of people to the border with Ceuta.
The images show the uniformed officer not intervening whilst the vehicle approaches the border crossing with an indeterminate number of people on board. The recording has generated widespread circulation on digital platforms, although its exact origin and the precise date on which it was taken have not been independently confirmed up to now.
Maldita.es, a media outlet specialising in fact-checking, has analysed the video's content without having been able to establish with certainty the full context of the sequence. Moroccan authorities have not issued any official statement about the incident captured in the images.
The border between Morocco and Ceuta — Spanish territory in North Africa — is one of the main irregular entry points into the European Union and has been the subject of numerous episodes of diplomatic and migration tension in recent years.
