An announcement in which it cites the procedure followed regarding the electronic files with the conversations sent to the Service, on the night of the accident in Tempi, was issued by the EL.AS Headquarters.

The reason for this is the publication of a Sunday newspaper that speaks of “editing” in the audio documents of the tragic accident.
