Prosecutor for Tempi: In 20 days, find out who ran amok and destroyed evidence while there were missing persons

Fifteen months after the crime of Tempe, a prosecutor was found who directly and without evasion admits and acknowledges that the excavation and filling of the site of the collision was harmful, as it resulted in the complete alteration of evidence and the destruction of critical elements, even when there were missing persons and unidentified victims.

The deputy prosecutor of appeals of Larisa, Katerina Matsi – as documentonews.gr reveals – by her order and considering all the criminal actions that took place in the area of ​​the collision of the two trains urgently requests within twenty days to know who ordered the removal of tons of soil, with based on which process this decision was made and who were the persons who decided to remove critical evidence, as well as the reason, “since the volumes of soil and other transportable materials that were removed had not yet been examined by the experts and experts, while there were also missing persons of the passenger train”. At the same time, he judges the excavation and filling of the field as an “arbitrary intervention”.

It is worth mentioning that it is the first time that a judicial officer dealing with the case of the double crime committed in Tempe, gives a verdict without mincing his words, saying what relatives and a few journalists have been shouting for months. It is the first time that things are captured with the realism and objectivity they deserve, without half-assedness.

The Ministerial Liability Act had to be applied

The vice-prosecutor states in her order that although the summons of Christos Konstantinidis, husband of the deceased Vasiliki Chloros and Pavlos Aslanidis, father of the deceased 26-year-old Dimitris, in addition to Konstantinos Agorastos, against whom criminal proceedings have been brought, were also directed against the members of the SOPP who was established on 1-3-2023, in the composition of which political figures also participated. The deputy prosecutor observes that “but because the Larissa First Instance Prosecutor did not take any procedural action against them (according to articles 43 et seq. of the CPC), we returned the case file, in order to rule on them as well, noting however that the defendants, among others, are entitled to Minister and Deputy Ministers, and therefore the law on the responsibility of Ministers (L.3126/2003) applies to political persons. Despite this, the challenged order was issued, on which we state the following (…)”.

Arbitrary actions such as excavating and burying

Ms. Matsi, having at her disposal a wealth of information and statements, assesses that:

“(…) it was found that important evidence was removed from the scene of the crime, so that it becomes difficult if not impossible to fully gather and utilize all the findings in order to identify the causes of the accident and consequently the acts and omissions of the culprits that causally led to it ..

“A reinforcing element of this point of view is, among others, the statements from 18-1 2024 of the manager Athanasios Pandremmenos and the general partners Marios and Konstantinos Pandremmenos of the company with the name “ATHANASIOS PANDREMMENOS KE SIA O.E.’, which with construction machinery that the above company has were called to help the next day at the scene of the accident and who testify that due to the large volume of water used to extinguish the fire caused by the collision of the trains, a huge volume of mud was created which prevented the approach to the wagons, and for this reason, moreover, by order of the fire service, they uprooted bushes, holly trees and trees, and threw gravel to prevent the ground from sinking, however, on the second and third day after the accident, about 300 cubic meters of soil with what materials and items did this include, they removed it with their trucks and deposited it on their property, by order of the fire department because it was not needed..

Then, as they testify, by order of the district, they covered it with tar and gravel and shaped the space in order to “become a small church for the victims.

However the above actions constitute an arbitrary interference with the place around the accident, which is of course also a crime scene insofar as criminal acts or omissions that led to it are being investigated, in violation of the provision of article 251 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which outlines the work of the investigator and investigative officers as exclusively competent to act necessary investigative acts for the collection and preservation of evidence, but also the obligation of pre-investigative officers and those present at the scene to keep the area intact for the uninterrupted collection of evidence.

However, despite the above noted intervention at the scene of the accident, it has not yet become clear on the basis of which procedure this decision was taken and by whom, given that apart from the general observation that everyone was carrying out orders from the fire service, it has not been clarified which specific persons decided to remove critical evidence from the accident site, as well as the reason for such an action, since the volumes of soil and other transportable materials that were removed had not yet been examined by experts and experts, while there were also missing persons from the passenger train” observes, among others, Mrs. Matsi.

“In 20 days to find those responsible”

The deputy prosecutor reasonably requests the immediate investigation of the incident and its causes, giving a deadline of 20 days, which highlights the urgency of the matter.

“Consequently, we consider it necessary to complete the preliminary examination, which should be assigned in person to a Deputy Prosecutor of First Instance, in order to clarify within twenty days:

-which specific persons were present in the first days and even the coating of the area with tar and gravel at the site of the accident, and

– who or which persons gave the order to remove the soil and other materials that were then transferred to a private plot of land without making this material available to the judicial authorities.

To this end, he requests that relevant documents from the Greek police and the fire service, as well as any other service involved in any way in the incident, be attached, with which a clear answer will be given to the above question, i.e. who was physically present at the scene ( for this purpose, use of the existing photographic material in the case file) and who gave the order for the removal of the above materials.. To clearly answer whether a report was drawn up for the removal of the materials, or whether this action was recorded in any another document (in a positive case to attach these, in a negative case to explain why they were not drawn up) and then to obtain statements of these persons without trial.. These last persons to explain why they ordered the removal of the materials from the site before the judicial authorities, and without informing and obtaining permission”..

“What would be the problem with keeping the soil in place and what was the purpose of removing it”?

Subsequently, the prosecutor asks for a series of questions to be examined, the answer to which will give a clear picture of the complete alteration of the field in Tempi..

“What would be the problem if the soil and hauled materials remained at the accident site to be available for investigation and what purpose would it serve to remove them. Shouldn’t they have been made available to the experts to be checked bit by bit since by then at least there were missing passengers? Given that while the Appellant Investigator subsequently ordered the examination of a sample from the chemical service from the soil – material present at the site of the accident, why did they not at least inform him that there is soil – material in another place as well. In any case, take any action you deem necessary in order to clarify the above issues” concludes Aikaterini Matsi.

For the first time, the judiciary is positioned in a clear way

The legal and authorized lawyer of the appeal for the rioters Pavlos Aslanidis and Christos Konstantinidis, Giorgos Iliopoulos, whose son was also on board the fatal train and luckily survived, comments through documentonews.gr on the new developments.

“It is the first time that at such a high level and with a prestigious opinion, the judiciary is placed in a clear way, condemning the shameful events of those days. In this way, it proves that on the one hand it assumes its responsibilities and on the other hand that it is ready to bring the appropriate prosecutions against all those who abused and usurped the power assigned to them to obstruct the administration of Justice, endangering the constitutional institutions.

We expect criminal prosecutions based mainly on article 134 of the Criminal Code. Those who are personally responsible for the unthinkable crime of burning 30 passengers alive are the ones who sought to falsify the evidence at the crime scene in order not to be exposed. It is the same corrupt nationally unworthy managers of the executive branch who are responsible anyway for the unthinkable crime of not having a single active system to prevent the disastrous consequences of statistically inevitable human error.

The result of this conscious choice was to murder 57 people. In addition, they are also responsible for the attempted murder of all the remaining 300 passengers who survived with minor or major injuries that will plague them for life. In order to prevent this from happening, billions were spent on railway infrastructure, but instead of increasing safety, the illegal profit skyrocketed.

No Greek citizen should allow their escape from the consequences that Nemesis has in store for them. Contrary to what is dictated by various caricatures of TV decadence, who dare to expose themselves as candidates for the European Parliament, “we did not kill these children all together” but we will be collectively responsible for the discrediting of their memory if we do not demand and impose exemplary punishment of those who did it”.
