A report from Ineco, the public engineering firm linked to the Ministry of Transport, maintains that Adif moved track fragments and welds from the railway accident in Adamuz (Córdoba) because they were exposed and without conservation measures after the withdrawal of the Guardia Civil and the Railway Accident Investigation Commission (CIAF), who did not seal those remains upon leaving the area. The document disseminated by the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, explains that the materials were not manipulated and remained at judicial disposal, with the declared objective of preserving them from deterioration.
The controversy occurs in a context in which Adif's actions have been questioned by the Guardia Civil and the judge investigating the incident, following accusations that the extraction of key parts could have affected the chain of custody of the evidence. While the Benemérita defends that the removal was done without notice or judicial authorization, Adif insists that it acted to prevent the degradation of the remains, which has generated tensions between the investigators and the infrastructure manager regarding the handling of critical evidence from the accident.
