  • The facts: Adif pulls two cars of a train that derailed into the Sil River

The Orense Provincial Prosecutor's Office has opened ex officio proceedings to investigate whether there is "a possible crime against the environment" for pulling two cars from a derailed train in Carballeda de Valdeorras ( Orense ) towards the Sil river channel.

As judicial sources explain to Europa Press, the Orense Prosecutor's Office opens this procedure "once it has had knowledge of the events that occurred in that section" of the train track.

The objective is "to determine if it has a criminal scope" and if there is a crime against the environment. Thus, if the Public Prosecutor's Office understands that there have been indications of crime, a complaint would be filed in court, while otherwise it would be filed.

A freight train derailed on July 28 near the Sobradelo nucleus and, as part of the tasks to reopen the track, last Sunday a machine pushed two cars, so that one reached the river and the other was overturned on the embankment.

Given these facts, the Xunta de Galicia has initiated a sanctioning case against the Administrator of Railway Infrastructures (Adif), in which it proposes a fine of 35,000 euros for a "serious offense" for what happened. The Miño-Sil Confederation also advanced that it is studying an economic sanction.

For his part, Adif began Wednesday the operation to remove the freight cars at the point where the train derailed in Carballeda.
