Tempi: How the Authenticity of Commercial Train Videos Will Be Verified

The report by experts on the videos and cargo of the commercial train in Tempi dominated interest on Thursday (13/2/25). However, there is now exceptional anticipation for the decision regarding the authenticity of these videos, which is the next step in this highly publicized case. This is because the expert report identifies that the newly released videos depict the commercial train in Tempi and do not show any suspicious cargo. However, it has not been certified that this visual material is authentic. This is expected to happen within 10 days by the criminal investigation department through a major process. The authenticity of the three videos will be examined through a large volume of digital material measured in terabytes (TB). This material is currently being downloaded. A copy will be made, and the sections of the three controversial videos will be identified. Once located, they will be examined for any editing, interventions, or alterations, as well as when they were downloaded, from what recording device, and where they were stored. The report concluded that there was no ‘suspicious cargo.’ The commercial train involved in the February 28, 2023, disaster in Tempi is under examination with the three new videos that have come to light. The expert report confirms that in these three new videos, the commercial train in Tempi is depicted and does not appear to carry any suspicious cargo. ‘From the analysis of the video material, it emerges that the passing commercial train 63503, which participated in the February 28, 2023, disaster, is shown in its entirety and at the time of its passage, carrying only what is listed in the official cargo list, without any other cargo being visible on the freight cars. This report identifies the depicted convoy with the commercial train 63503 without certifying the authenticity of the video material,’ the report states. What is now awaited with special interest is the certification of their authenticity.
