A restrictive travel ban was imposed today on a former 2018-2019 CEO of OSE, who earlier apologized to the special appellate investigator investigating the Tempe crash case.

He had practiced on this one criminal prosecution for felony her disturbing traffic safety by omission and for the misdemeanors of manslaughter, grievous bodily harm and slight bodily harm by serial negligence by omission.

His prosecution has to do with failure to ensure maintenance of safety systems on the rail network such as the GSM-R digital communication system and signaling systems.

We remind that the specific systems, according to the findings of experts, were not working on the evening of February 28 when the two trains collided in Tempi resulting in the loss of 57 lives.

Mr. Kostas Spiliopoulos, who served as president of the OSE from September 2019 to June 2020, is expected to apologize to the investigator tomorrow. It should be noted that Mr. Spiliopoulos had publicly stated his prosecution as soon as it became known at the end of August.
