Many sources denied the false allegations, published in Spanish newspaper El Mundo, about the Moroccan authorities’ refusal to deport Yassin Kanjaa, stressing that these accusations “are fake and baseless”.
The same sources confirmed that Morocco’s Consulate in Algeciras has not received any request to authorize the deportation of the person concerned to Morocco.
A police source said that the Spanish authorities have coordinated and cooperated with the Moroccan police in many cases of expulsion and deportation, but the case of Yassin Kinjaa, who was implicated in the events of Algeciras, is not one of them.
It noted the existence of many “institutional mechanisms that facilitate all issues of bilateral cooperation in the security field, including issues of deportation.”
