Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 21st September 2021Case name: 2021_09_21-WM721
Situation: One man disappeared swimming from Tangier towards Spain.
Status of WTM Investigation: Unconfirmed
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean Sea
Summary of the case: On the 21st September 2021, the Alarm Phone received a call from a person whose brother was swimming from east of Tangier towards Spain. He had started the day before at 15h00 local time. The man did not have a phone with him. Our shift team alerted the Moroccan Navy, who stated that they were searching the area. During the following days, our shift team tried to find out about the fate of the traveler, and contacted the Moroccan and Spanish authorities and the Spanish Red Cross. There was information about a body that was found off the coast of Melilla, but we could not find out if it was the man we had been informed about.
Eventually, we had to close the case without resolving it.
