Courts The maximum operational chief of the Police tells the judge that the Interior did not control the arrival of Ghali in Spain
Foreign Statement asked about Ghali's legal situation when he had already allowed him to enter Spain
The investigation into the entry into
Spain
in April 2021 of the leader of
the Polisario Front
, Brahim Ghali, has incorporated a new element that fuels misgivings about the arrival of the historic Saharawi leader.
In a report from the
Judicial Police
of
Logroño to which
EL MUNDO
has had access
, the driver of the ambulance that transferred Ghali from the
Zaragoza Air Base
to the Riojan hospital where he was treated for the serious Covid he suffered from has identified a mysterious man who, according to his testimony, directed the device at the foot of the track, even marking the times to "a uniformed person from
the Air Force
".
It was, according to the dossier that the agents have delivered to the judge investigating the matter, "an individual dressed in a civilian suit and tie, who seemed to direct the military. This person is the one who gave the guidelines to locate the ambulance on the track of the airport and coordinate the patient's transfer from the plane to the airport".
Whether or not the man who supposedly coordinated the operation is linked to the
Interior
or to the intelligence services is something that the investigation will have to unravel.
The lawyer for the popular prosecution,
Antonio Urdiales
, has already asked Judge
Rafael Lasala
to identify this person to clarify on the basis of what he participated in the controversial operation.
statements before the judge
The highest operational chief of the Police,
José Ángel González Giménez
, insisted last Monday to the magistrate - he declared as a witness - that the Police did not control in any case the arrival of the Saharawi politician and that he was unaware that the person who landed in Zaragoza on April 18 it was Brahim Ghali because they did not specify it.
He believed, he indicated, that it was another leader.
Thus, the
Deputy Director of Operations
(DAO) assured that he did not share this information with any other person.
Also on that day, the chief inspector of the Group of the General Information Police Station
sat before the judge
, who clarified that the Interior officially certified on May 5 -two weeks after his arrival- that the person who entered the Spain was Ghali.
The police chief explained that this was so because he had to travel to the
Hospital San Pedro de Logroño to verify it at the request of the judge of the National High Court
Santiago Pedraz
, who at that time had an open case against the head of the Polisario.
For his part, the General Commissioner for Police Information,
Eugenio Pereiro
, told Lasala last November in his witness statement that he knew from the "tip" of an informer whom he refused to identify that on April 18 Ghali was going to land at the Zaragoza Air Base.
Once on land, he clarified, he himself was in charge of organizing Ghali's surveillance and follow-up to the hospital.
