Spanish prosecutors earlier this week began investigating last year鈥檚 road cycling world championship in Ponferrada, Spain, .听
The event was criticized as an extravagance for the Spanish town, and low spectator turnout and failure to secure adequate sponsorship caused the event to fall short of its projected budget, VeloNews reports.
Prosecutors are currently assessing whether there is sufficient evidence to bring charges related to bribery or abuse of public office. It鈥檚 currently uncertain whether potential charges are limited to the local government聽or if suspected wrongdoing extends to cycling officials.听
