It's certainly known that after they landed, the flight controls schematic was telling the truth. In other words was indicating the problem correctly, but the aileron that was deflecting in the wrong direction still showed in green.

Although the report says the aircraft was returned to the operator, I'm pretty confident it's stil in Portugal. I believe quite early on it was stated that it wouldn't rejoin the fleet. I hear it pulled well over 5G on several ocasions, which says a lot for the manufacturer.
Amazing that it stayed in one piece, and I fully understand their reluctance to accept it.
