Overview

• The Departament de Territori moved to sanction Hispa Travi, Hispa Bus and Hispa Tour for roughly 60 alleged infringements tied to the December 2024 excursion.
• Proposed fines total €138,000, with €63,000 for Hispa Bus, €41,000 for Hispa Tour and €34,000 for Hispa Travi.
• Authorities cite suspected illegal cession of vehicles and drivers and violations of driving and rest-time rules identified through tachograph records.
• The measures are administrative rather than criminal, and Chavi Tours—the charterer of the trip—is not fined because it was liquidated.
• The crash at Porté-Puymorens killed three and injured dozens; the bus had an expired technical inspection, the driver lacked a valid professional certificate, tested positive for a cocaine metabolite, and is accused in France of involuntary homicide and aggravated injuries.
