How does the increase in copper theft incidents in Spain, particularly near train lines, provide context for this specific event?

The Guardia Civil's focus on common theft stems from the complexity of the operation: the heavy cable required specialized tools and transport. While Minister Puente suggests sabotage, the investigation currently favors theft due to similarities with previous incidents, like a 2024 Barcelona incident also initially attributed to sabotage but later linked to organized crime.

The Supreme Court's decision supports the Public Prosecutor's 2022 closure of the investigation into King Juan Carlos I's undeclared foreign funds, exceeding €65 million from Saudi Arabia. The court found that the king's inviolability as head of state, statute of limitations on many actions, and voluntary tax settlements prevented criminal prosecution.
