Macroman,
you're correct about the aviation authority investigation. However, the "highest responsible" authority is actually the Spanish judiciary, in the person of a "fiscal" (inquiring judge). Judge and safety body will likely collaborate in any way possible , but if the justice wants to keep/exclude certain evidence or interrogate certain witnesses or indict people, he can do that before and independently.
EDIT: Said fiscal has mentioned that investigation results should be available within one month.
