Temby: Chief of the OSE’s Larissa Inspection Department released

By decision of the Board of Appeals the temporary detention of the Head of the Larissa Inspection Department of the Traffic Support Service (railways) Central and South Greece in the case of their accident is converted into . According to the decision for the Head of the Department of Inspection of Larissa OSE for the Tembes accident in the house arrest will be controlled by the Prosecutor of Primarys of his place of residence. This inspector had been deemed a bumper after his apology to the interviewer this year nearly a year ago and specifically on March 31, according to larissanet.gr. In fact his prosecution was to a degree of felony and related to the placement of the 59-year-old stationmaster on the night shift of 28 February at the time he knew that this man did not meet the criteria to meet the specific post. As evidenced by the wrong handling of the stationmaster led to the collision of the two trains resulting in 57 people losing their lives. We recall that the previous release request lodged by the Inspector last spring had been rejected by the Board of Appeals with the following points in his decision: “It is very likely, if he is released, even in restrictive terms, that he will commit criminal acts in order to cover up the crime he is accused of. In addition to what is stated in the Prosecution proposal, it should be noted that before this Council the defendant, present with his attorney, stated, inter alia, that the criterion for determining the station authorities’ services was their equal and even distribution. The above statement in conjunction with the other statements made by him and his advocate shows that, when defining the station manager service for Larissa Station on 28-2-2023 and for hours after the 11th night, the minimum experience of stationmaster B. S. of D. was not taken into account for his work, which he would carry out on his own, since in the previous night service of the same stationmaster at Kalabaka railway station, on 2-1-2023, the applicant was obliged, on orders above him to carry out the corresponding service along with the aforementioned stationmaster as the latter did not have the appropriate experience for a railway station (i.e. the Kalabaka Station) with much less traffic (especially during the night shift) than that of the train station of Larissa. The above was not contested by the defendant before this Council. Moreover, in addition to what is stated in the prosecutor’s proposal, in view of the applicant’s long term in service, and the friendly and service relations he has developed with his subordinates, he may carry out a moral insurgency of illegal acts in order to cover up the crime he is accused of to a degree of felony… Thus, in order to achieve this objective, namely to prevent new crimes, it is not sufficient to impose restrictive conditions, nor does home restriction by electronic surveillance (Article 284(1) CID), which in this case are deemed insufficient to promote the above purpose of criminal proceedings, set out in Article 282(3) of the CID. and consequently it is necessary to continue his temporary detention. It follows that the action in question must be rejected in substance’.
