Spanish term or phrase: desapercido
This word appears in an article about the debate surrounding the Valley of the Fallen in Spain following the introduction of the Historical Memory Law of 2007. The whole sentence is:

"algo que está pasando desapercido es que el informe general es propriedad privada"

I can't find "desapercido" in any dictionaries and so I'm wondering if it's perhaps a typo and meant to be "desapercibido" which seems to make more sense in the context. Any native speakers who can confirm this? Any help much appreciated thanks.

Explanation:
Simon was faster with "unnoticed" so I'll give my 2nd alternative... agree with the typo hypothesis anyway
