“The whole time I’ve been here I’ve seen a lot of drivers who actually go in and out in front of the new camera as well. One of the five that exist in Vasilissis Sofias. There are three cameras on Alexandras Avenue, three on Mesogeion Avenue and one in Kifissias,” said journalist Mary Skandali on Tuesday morning (7/11) in a related report aired on ERT’s “Syndeses” show.
