The wildcat work stoppage, which caused the closure of Spanish airspace and led the government to declare a state of alarm, is a 'very serious' crime, he said before presiding at a meeting of the prosecutors council in Zaragoza.
Conde-Pumpido confirmed that there are more than 20 judicial proceedings that have been opened nationwide in the matter and more than 400 potential defendants.
Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's government militarized the air traffic control system late Friday after controllers walked out en masse, grounding hundreds of thousands of travelers at the beginning of a long holiday weekend."
