Spanish authorities in the Canary Islands have released the Moroccan fishing boat La Clontaine, previously used by 14 individuals, including a minor, for an illegal migration attempt.
According to one of the vessel’s overseers, the boat’s owner completed all legal procedures to recover it, and it is now en route back to Agadir via Tarfaya.
The fate of the 14 migrants remains unclear. The source denied the claim by Canary authorities that they were part of the crew, stating only one, a mechanic, had ties to the vessel and was behind the plan.
He allegedly brought ten migrants and used the boat, assigned to him for maintenance, for the crossing.
He also dismissed allegations that the owner failed to pay wages, citing supporting documents.
One elderly fisherman reportedly ended up in the Canaries unknowingly and expressed a desire to return home.
