Tempi accident: Trial over missing video footage set for November
A trial regarding the management of video footage from the Tempi train accident is scheduled to begin on November 6 at the Larissa Court of Appeals. The proceedings focus on the handling of digital evidence from the commercial train involved in the disaster.
The defendants include the former president of OSE (2020-2023), the former CEO of OSE (2023-2025), and a representative of Interstar Security, the company responsible for monitoring the railway network since 2017. Charges include the failure to provide video footage from the Thessaloniki Freight Station and the overwriting of data on digital hard drives, which has made the full recovery of the commercial train's footage impossible.
During recent hearings, families of the deceased drivers, Dimitrios Massalis and Spyros Voulgaris, expressed profound distress. They criticized political figures and public narratives that suggested the presence of illegal cargo or flammable substances. The families emphasized that official investigations, audio documents, and video evidence refute theories of an explosion or dangerous cargo, noting that such claims have caused them further psychological harm.
