The judicial proceedings regarding the Tempi train tragedy continue at the Three-Member Misdemeanor Court of Appeals in Larissa. Recent sessions have focused on investigative failures, the handling of evidence, and the circumstances surrounding the deceased drivers. Legal representatives and family members have raised concerns regarding the alteration of the accident site and the unexamined status of 17 mobile phones found at the scene. Antonis Psaropoulos, a lawyer and father of a victim, has called for investigations into responsibilities beyond the 36 current defendants, specifically citing the role of Hellenic Train and OSE officials. During the trial, the families of deceased drivers Dimitris Massalis and Spyros Voulgaris have categorically rejected allegations that the commercial train was carrying illegal cargo. They argued that rumors suggesting smuggling or explosions are refuted by forensic evidence and the absence of combustion traces. Families expressed profound distress that such theories, promoted by some political figures, have unfairly targeted the deceased. ~~Additionally, a~~ A separate trial is scheduled ~~for~~ to begin on November 6 at the Larissa ~~Misdemeanor~~ Court of Appeals concerning the management of video footage.
