An incident earlier this month saw Guardia Civil Officers attempt to board the King of Morocco’s yacht during a patrol for drug smugglers and human traffickers. The Telegraph’s Madrid Correspondent, Fiona Govan reports that officers of the Spanish Paramilitary force approached King Mohammed VI and his entourage and their two speedboats and three jetskis, ‘to enquire about the identities and destination of those on board.’
The Chief Minister is in London today for a series of meetings including meetings with senior officials in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Mr Picardo is accompanied by the Chief Legal Adviser to the Government Michael Llamas QC.
