The decision will concern the guilt or innocence of the defendants tried in the months-long trial for misdemeanors, homicides and negligent bodily harm.
Most of those who finally sat on the bench were executives of the state apparatus at the time, Fire Brigade, Civil Protection as well as self-administrative agents, mayors of the region and the then regional governor.
In total there are 21 defendants together with the old man who was tried because he set the fire in Dau Pentelis and it spread with the known murderous results.
