How did the EU directive on tunnel safety influence the timeline and financial aspects of the Belate tunnel project?

The controversy stems from alleged links between former PSOE secretary general Santos Cerdán and Servinabar 2000, a small construction firm implicated in bribery allegations involving Cerdán, former Transport Minister José Luis Ábalos, and his advisor. The Guardia Civil found evidence suggesting Cerdán held a 45% stake in Servinabar, undisclosed in his financial declarations.
