Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean Sea
Summary of the case: On Thursday the 25th of May 2023 shortly before midnight, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 15 travellers, all men, in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left from Al Hoceima the same morning on a 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. Later, we learned from the relative that the travellers had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy and brought back to Morocco.
