The judge has decided to cancel the status of indicted to one of the technicians that participated in the maintenance action (RAT heater disabling) done to the aircraft soon before the accident.

The judge estimates his participation as assistant to the other technician, carrying out actions not directly related from the outside of the aircraft and only briefly coming inside to label the heater as inoperative is not enough to warrant his responsability in any potential wrongdoing.

The main technician in charge of the repair and the chief of maintenance for Spanair (who also didn't participate directly nor was informed at the time of any actions on the aircraft) remain indicted.
