Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded

Summary of the case: On Saturday the 20th of May 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 32 travellers in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left the same morning on a grey rubber boat. We were not able to establish direct contact to the travellers, but immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo, relaying all the information we had. However, during the following day Salvamento Maritimo had no news about this boat. Later in the day, we learned from the relative that the travellers had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy.
