The station master’s apology, which began shortly after 2 p.m., is ongoing. Despite the fact that the 59-year-old has been in the investigator’s office since 9 this morning, his apology was delayed in starting due to a technical problem.

The station master is there facing the heavy charge of disturbing the safety of transportation, an offense prosecuted, based on a recent amendment to the Penal Code, as a felony and punishable by ten years to life in prison. He is also facing charges of serial manslaughter, as many as the people who died, but also charges of bodily harm with the same criminal classification, as many as the injured who made it out alive.

Arriving in the morning, the defense attorney Mr. Pantzartzidis stated: “I can’t take another postponement, I want this matter to end so that the paraphilologies stop.” At the same time, according to his advocates the 59-year-old declares himself devastated from the first moment and takes his share of the responsibility to the extent that is due to him. He is reported to have told his lawyer that “I have the death of 35 people on my back” when he realized his mistake, but at the same time it is sought to assign responsibility for omissions or mistakes to whoever still belongs.

It is recalled that the 59-year-old defendant did not apologize to the investigator on Saturday, but asked for a new deadline for today, after, as his defense attorney said, new data emerged that needed to be studied.

At the same time, the prosecutorial and judicial authorities are investigating with a prosecutorial order, the responsibilities for the fatal accident as they are not only the responsibilities of the station master but also those who placed him in this critical position, the main station master in Larissa without the 59-year-old having the required experience . The 59-year-old had only 16 days of service as a basic station master, but he was placed in this position for a whole three days, and the traffic of the trains due to the three days was very heavy.

As announced today by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, the Inspector Nikolaos Dimitrios of Panagiotis is on holiday until the thorough investigation of the suitability and selection of the Station Master for service at the Larissa station.

Tension outside the Larissa Courthouse that the stationmaster apologizes for

Earlier, tension was caused at noon outside the Larissa Courthouse where the station master is apologizing. According to tinealarissa.gr, a lawyer who came to represent some of the victims’ families got into a fight with journalists thinking they were mocking him and called the police saying he would sue them. According to reports three journalists and a cameraman were brought in in the department following a lawsuit brought against them by Andreas Theodoropoulos, a lawyer who represents families of victims of the tragedy in Tempi.
