The Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande-Marlaska, confirmed this Tuesday at a press conference following the Council of Ministers that the investigation into the tragic train accident that occurred in Adamuz (Córdoba) remains open and that no cause is considered ruled out, but he denies the possibility that it was caused by sabotage.
Marlaska pointed out that the **Railway Accidents Investigation Commission (CIAF) is still in the initial phase of data collection and analysis**, and therefore there are no conclusions yet **on what caused the derailment** and the collision between the two trains
Procedure
To clarify the causes, investigators will analyze in the laboratory the tracks of the section where the derailment began and will examine the rolling stock of the Iryo high-speed train involved in the accident.
Train circulation records for that point in the days prior are also being reviewed, and other trains that passed through the area before the accident will be inspected.
Marlaska has stressed that the sabotage hypothesis has never been considered—a possibility that has been completely dismissed—and that the investigation is focusing exclusively on technical causes and those related to rail transport.
According to the latest updates, the death toll from the railway accident has risen to 41, with dozens injured (some in critical condition). Rescue efforts, wagon extraction, and victim and family care continue under the responsibility of the emergency services. Furthermore, the three days of mourning decreed by the Government are ongoing, and from the outset, institutions have committed to maintaining transparency in communication regarding the investigation's findings.
