With the final statements of performance in support of the prosecution, the trial of the Tempi<\/b> train crash continues today, Monday, April 27, in GAIOPOLIS.<\/p>\n
At the previous session of the Three-Member Court of Appeal of Larissa<\/b>, on Monday, most of the 230 supporters of the charge included in the indictment, namely relatives of the victims, the injured, lawyers’ associations and the Greek train drivers’ union “Panhellenic Union of Traction Personnel”, registered their appearance.<\/b><\/p>\n
Some stated in court that they did not wish to be present, while others announced for the first time their intention to declare an appearance as was done in the last session with the Greek State through its representative from the National Council of the State.<\/b><\/p>\n
The State’s declaration is expected to be completed today, to be followed by any objections from the defence lawyers of the accused as to the presence of those supporting the accusation.<\/p>\n
It should be noted that there is a pending request from the president of the Electoral Action for Freedom and advocate for the victims’ relatives Zoe Konstantopoulou<\/b> regarding the audiovisual coverage and broadcasting of the trial. The president said that this particular request will be considered after the legalization process is completed so that any advocates who wish to do so can be seated.<\/p>\n
We recall that the president’s order regarding the number of people who can be present at any one time in the audience and the journalists covering the trial<\/b> is in force. This order is in force until the completion of the legalization process and then a new one is expected to be issued.<\/p>\nThe defendants<\/h3>\n
