They are scrutinizing EU funds after the train disaster. An investigation has been launched.

The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) has initiated an investigation into potential misuse of EU funds related to safety work on the Madrid-Seville railway line, following a tragic accident on October 28, 2026, near Urda, Toledo, which resulted in 69 fatalities. This investigation was prompted by public interest, although no specific details have been disclosed. This is not the first inquiry regarding this railway line, as another investigation began in March 2026. The accident involved a collision between a Renfe train and a private Iryo train, with 54 Spanish and 15 foreign victims. Preliminary findings indicate a failure in the LZB control system, which should have prevented both trains from operating on the same track simultaneously.
