The Tempi trial will be held in Larissa, according to a decision by the Supreme Court.
The Greek Supreme Court ruled that the trial for the Tempi train accident will be held in Larissa, rejecting requests from victims' relatives to move it to Athens or Thessaloniki. The relatives argued that holding the trial in cities with airports would ease their participation. The trial is scheduled to begin in Larissa on March 23. The trial includes the 60-year-old Larissa station master, who is accused of directing the passenger train onto the wrong track. In total, the trial involves multiple executives from OSE, ERGOSE, Hellenic Train and state officials, concerning significant safety omissions.
