  • The story The 45 days of crisis with Rabat: how the reception of Ghali has ended in a conflict of difficult solution

The Zaragoza judge investigating the entry into

Spain

of the leader of

the Polisario Front

, Brahim Ghali, last April has gone up one more step in his instruction and has requested the

full

whatsapp

that were exchanged by the Lieutenant General of the General Staff of the Air Force,

Javier Salto Martínez

, with the Chief of Staff of the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha González Laya, in the presence of the Saharawi leader in the national territory.


Ghali landed on April 18 at the

Zaragoza

military base

to be transferred by ambulance to a hospital in

Logroño

, where he was treated for coronavirus.

His entry took place with the opposition of the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, who expressed his refusal to welcome him convinced that his presence would unleash a diplomatic crisis with

Morocco

like the one that occurred.



The magistrate

Rafael Lasala

takes this step after Salto Martínez informed him that he exchanged WhatsApp messages - in addition to conversations by phone - with

Camilo Villarino

in the presence of Ghali in Spain.

Lasala also orders that "the full content of such written conversations be specified, specifying the number of communicating lines and users thereof", as stated in the ruling to which this newspaper has had access.


Exit flight


Likewise, the instructor urges the Civil Guard to identify the flight chartered by a French company from

Bordeaux

with which Ghali left Spain for Algiers once he was discharged from hospital and having remained hours before without precautionary measures after declaring before the Court Nacional for his indictment in a matter of alleged torture.


Lasala wants to be informed, he insists, "about the take-off clearances and passport and baggage control carried by Ghali and his companions."



It has also agreed to deliver the administrative file on the granting of Spanish nationality to Ghali and the NIE in addition to another battery of proposals from the lawyer Antonio Urdiales, who was the one who filed the complaint that the judge has reviewed.

The lawyer maintains the thesis that Spain concealed Ghali's entry into Spain so that he would not render accounts in the National Court.


The magistrate has also assumed the proceedings opened in another court in Logroño whose owner was inhibited in his favor because they were the same facts.
