Adif Chief Defends Full Cooperation in Adamuz Crash Investigation, Rejects Claims of Concealment

The move signals a bid to restore trust during ongoing probes.

Overview

  • Adif’s president, who appeared Tuesday before Spain’s Transport Commission in Parliament, said the company is fully cooperating and denied that it failed to realize two trains were involved.
  • He said crews removed track parts on January 22–23 only after accident authorities had left and authorized the work, adding that rescue machinery had already altered items ruled out as evidence.
  • He reported answering more than 100 information requests from the Guardia Civil, the courts, the public prosecutor and the labor inspectorate.
  • Spokespeople for the PP and Vox called for his resignation, alleging Adif hid data and did not help investigators as required.
  • He pledged to introduce safety fixes if rail infrastructure is found responsible, and the formal investigations continue without a final finding of fault.
