According to an official letter issued by the Cabinet Office and published today, Wednesday, by the government's official platform, several relevant bodies, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Customs Authority, and the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), have been tasked with taking the necessary measures and communicating with the competent authorities in the Kingdom of Spain to gather information and data related to the incident.

The instructions also stressed the need to coordinate with the Libyan Embassy in Madrid to monitor the progress of the investigation and take all necessary legal measures regarding the incident to ensure that its circumstances are revealed and responsibilities are determined.
