Overview
- Guardia Civil, CIAF, a court officer and manufacturer specialists carried out the data extraction at CIAF facilities in Madrid, completing the operation without incidents and creating immediate copies for the court.
- Renfe and Iryo attended separate sessions for their trains’ registrars, which require proprietary software and specialist procedures, including external 72‑volt power and an air‑gapped computer to prevent leaks.
- Investigators will now review the files and video, with results expected to take days or potentially weeks, as some reporting indicates CIAF set an internal one‑week workplan after the data dump.
- Technical lines of inquiry continue to examine a suspected rail break at km 318.681 possibly involving a failed weld, with sources expecting Iryo’s interior camera images to clarify the derailment sequence.
- The judge ordered Adif to refrain from maintenance or other works near Adamuz without 15 days’ notice and prior authorization following earlier concerns over unapproved removal of track material.
