EU prosecutors launch possible €110m fraud probe into Spain’s railways, after second lethal crash
The EPPO has initiated an investigation into Spain's state railway for potential EU fund fraud linked to maintenance after a deadly train collision. This follows two fatal accidents on the Madrid-Seville line this year, resulting in 115 deaths. The investigation targets Spain's railway infrastructure administrator and safety agency, with Civil Guard agents seeking documents related to possible embezzlement. The European Commission did not comment on the investigation, as EPPO operates independently.
