> Interior Minister Grande-Marlaska has written to the CGPJ president after a judge banned police from sharing investigation details.

Interior Minister **Fernando Grande-Marlaska** has sent a formal letter to **Isabel Perelló**, president of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ), regarding a recent court order. The move follows Judge María Tardón's decision to ban a police team from sharing investigation details with superiors.

The police unit is currently investigating the migratory crisis in Ceuta. In his communication, Grande-Marlaska, identifying as both minister and magistrate, expressed concern over the ruling. He argued that reporting to superiors should remain compatible with meeting all specific judicial requirements.

This intervention highlights a significant tension between the executive and judicial branches over police reporting protocols. The outcome may impact how law enforcement agencies manage internal communications while conducting sensitive investigations under the direction of the Audiencia Nacional.
