The European Public Prosecutor's Office tracks 261 million in Adif contracts funded by the EU on the accident line

The European Public Prosecutor's Office has initiated an investigation into the use of EU funds for the Madrid-Sevilla high-speed line, particularly focusing on contracts linked to recent fatal accidents. Among these is a controversial €94 million contract awarded to Thales for upgrading safety systems, which has faced scrutiny for potential fraud. The investigation also includes examining telecommunications contracts and irregularities detected by the Court of Auditors. The Spanish government expresses confidence in the integrity of the investments made, despite ongoing inquiries.
