EU Prosecutor Investigates Possible Fraud in Spain's Madrid-Seville Railway Upgrades
The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) is investigating possible fraud involving EU funds allocated to safety, signalling, and communications upgrades on Spain's Madrid-Seville high-speed railway. Searches were conducted at the offices of infrastructure operator Adif, the State Railway Safety Agency, and the Court of Auditors. The probe follows two fatal train accidents in 2026 that killed a total of 115 people, though no financial wrongdoing has been linked to the crashes so far.
