The judge investigating the demolition of the El Bocal Coast Pass in Santander has focused on the protocols of action of the Municipal Police. zThe judge wants to clarify whether for this type of communication the police had a specific procedure after a neighbor reported the poor state of the structure the day before the accident. In that accident six young people were killed , three of them Basques, anda girl was seriously injured.

In addition, he has extended the investigation to the maintenance and construction of the runway, mentioning the construction manager, the 2024 workers and the 2014 project engineer. He has asked the judicial expert to assess the materials used and their compliance with the regulations. 

According to the first reports, the hardware was rusty, and the only maintenance that had been done in ten years was the renovation of the wood, so that, according to the judge, perhaps that was not enough.

The judge cites possible responsibilities for negligence and investigates those responsible for the Ministry of Coasts, in addition to holding the Santander City Council responsible for civil matters.
