With the positions of defense advocates of the defendants on the prosecutor's proposal for the performance statements to support the charge, the trial for the train accident in Temby continues today in "GAIOPOLIS".

There is now to be placed and the last defense advocates to then decide, the Trimel Larisa Cage Court who will eventually attend the trial.

It should be recalled that the applicant proposed that the declarations of Bar Associations only for the offence of disrupting the safety of transport and to reject the statements of the Association "Panhellenic Association of Personal Attractions" and the Greek public. He also proposed that all statements made about the offence of violating duty involving three of the total 36 defendants be rejected.

The objections of the defendants are directed mainly against the statements of the Bar Associations and the Appeals Association. No one objected to the statements of relatives of victims and injured persons while the three accused afternoon-night shift stationers of 28 February 2023 and the then head of the Larissa Inspection Department of the Traffic Support Service (railways) of Central and Southern Greece, expressed with their advocates the objections to the performance of the Greek public sector which is directed exclusively against them.

Today, the four advocates are expected to be placed on the prosecutor's proposal. Please note that for the public's performance they expressed their dissatisfaction and the advocates of relatives of victims and wounded, pointing out, among other things, that this is how the remaining 32 defendants come out of the "case" of responsibility.

Five are the offences for which they are charged on a case-by-case basis. For the felony of dangerous interference in the transport of fixed-track means with a potential for deceit, with a risk to the safety of transport, from which a common risk to foreign things could arise and a risk to people and which resulted in:
