Spain refers Morocco in assault case
The Spanish judiciary on the island of Lanzarote has decided to close a case involving an alleged sexual assault that occurred aboard a boat used for migration, which departed from the shores of Agadir. The court concluded that it lacked jurisdiction over the incidents that took place in international waters. It ordered the case files to be transferred to Morocco, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea to allow those countries to review the facts and determine the possibility of initiating legal investigations. The details of the case date back to a maritime journey that began from Agadir in mid-September, during which a Guinean woman filed a complaint claiming she was subjected to sexual assault and acts of violence. This led to an investigation that identified three suspects. They were placed in pretrial detention, but the Spanish court ultimately ruled it had no jurisdiction. Despite closing the case, the court recommended sending all investigative documents to the relevant countries, especially Guinea, to conduct the necessary investigations.
