The driver of the Spanish high-speed train which derailed was charged with 79 counts of homicide and released pending trial, after appearing before a judge on Sunday evening.
Francisco Garzon, 52, had been under arrest since Thursday, a day after a horrible train crash in Spain which killed 79 persons.
He is suspected of driving the train too fast through a tight curve on the outskirts of this northwestern city. Garzon was charged with 79 counts of homicide as he commited them through professional recklessness, the court said.
