The Judicial Police of the Civil Guard are investigating the circumstances in which an immigrant who arrived this Saturday morning died in one of several small boats that have made landfall in western Almería.
Investigation sources have told EFE that two boats with 34 and 46 people, respectively, reached the coast of Adra (Almería) and El Ejido (Almería) early this Saturday. In the first one was the deceased who, according to what the occupants of the boat have transferred to the police authority, died at some point during the journey.
As the newspaper ‘Diario de Almería’ advances in its digital edition, and sources close to the case have confirmed to EFE, a third boat has arrived in this area shortly after with some fifty people, so that the landings have occurred on the beaches of Guaínos, Guardias Viejas and Censo beach and have added some 130 migrants this Saturday.
The sources consulted have pointed out that the boats would have set sail from Morocco and that they are “narcolanchas”, although this classification is due to the fact that they are the ones habitually used by drug traffickers, with large displacement engines, and not because, in addition to immigrants, they transported narcotics.
A canoe with 52 migrants on board has arrived by its own means at the Los Cristianos pier, in the municipality of Arona, in Tenerife, according to sources from Maritime Rescue and the Emergency and Security Coordination Center (Cecoes) 1-1-2.
The salvamar Alpheratz has escorted the cayuco while it entered the port by its own means, so it has not had to intervene. Once on land, the medical device assisted them at the dock and eight of them were transferred to different hospitals, one in serious condition.
