Request it to do it as a witness so that, according to the writing to which this newspaper has had access, explain if it ordered some kind of management or why I suspected that the historic Saharawi leader was going to enter the country three days before it landed At the military base of Zaragoza.
In addition, lawyer Antonio Urdiales also asks him to declare as a witness the director of Cabinet of the Ministry of the Interior Susana Chrysostom to determine the degree of knowledge of the portfolio that directs Fernando Grande-Marlaska on the stay of Ghali in Spain.

The diplomat Camilo Villarino informed Magistrate Rafael Lasala that two days before Brahim Ghali landed in Spain, the Cabinet Director of the former Vice President called him to ask him about a possible arrival and that, in addition, he did "on a personal basis". "She calls me on the phone and she tells me 'Camilo, is it true that you are weighing the possibility that Brahim Ghali comes to Spain?' In those terms, as such, and all the intervention of him in this matter is reduced to that call, which asks him to make the head of him to know if it is true.

In the absence of response, the judge reformulated his question. "Had there been a policeman upon arrival at the hospital?"
Brahim Ghali landed on April 18 at Zaragoza's military base to be moved in ambulance to a Logroño hospital, where he was treated to Coronavirus. The entrance of him occurred with the opposition of the Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, who expressed his refusal to welcome him convinced that the presence of him would unleash a diplomatic crisis with Morocco like the one that occurred.
