The judicial investigation into the Tempi tragedy starts today in Larissa. This tragic event claimed 57 lives and injured many others.
The trial kicks off three years after the accident. Victims’ families are looking for justice and answers about what happened.
A total of 36 people are facing charges. This includes the Larissa stationmaster and executives from OSE and ERGOSE. They are accused of mistakes and failures related to railway safety.
Hundreds of witnesses are expected to take part in the trial. Over 200 relatives of victims and survivors plan to attend to support the prosecution.
The investigation wrapped up in the summer of 2025. However, families of the victims have concerns, saying not all important evidence was looked at.
This trial, which is likely to be long, is crucial for determining responsibility and achieving justice for one of the worst railway accidents in recent years.
