In Zahlen
The trial regarding the Tempe train disaster, which occurred in Greece in 2023, continues at the Larissa Assize Court. Lawyers for the defense of the defendants are expressing their legal objections, which form the focal point, by requesting the postponement of the trial. Lawyers for the ERGOSE managers are requesting the suspension of the trial due to a parallel investigation conducted by the European Prosecutor's Office.
Lawyers argue that the case initiated by the European Prosecutor's Office regarding the use of EU funds for contract number 717 overlaps in content with the Tempe trial and is even 'identical'. It is emphasized that both cases rely on the same experts and witnesses, and that double jeopardy regarding the same issue in Athens and Larissa should be prevented. The prosecutor will announce his opinion regarding these postponement requests after the final defense statements to be made on Monday.
The Court President announced that after the August recess, the hearings will gain momentum in September and October. It was stated that the court plans to hold at least ten hearings per month and that this number could be increased depending on the progress of the process.
