«The Moroccan authorities have told us that he was arrested in Morocco, but we do not know,» Abdelmalik El Barkani added. The latter, however, said that the man had been «formally identified», as the Spanish authorities have his ID.
The official said that the Melilla police will carry out all the «legal proceedings that must be taken» about this individual, who could be accused of smuggling migrants.
