In a letter addressed to Panagiotis Terezakis, OSE interim governor and CEO, Dogiakos askes for all the relative files.

Chief Supreme Court prosecutor Isidoros Dogiakos has requested information on all the accidents of the last 15 years, that are related to Hellenic Railways Organization (OSE).

In a letter addressed to Panagiotis Terezakis, OSE interim governor and CEO, Dogiakos askes for all the relative files.

His request comes as part part of investigations launched into criminal liabilities and chronic problems that led to the loss of 57 lives and the injury of dozens on February 28 at Tempi, when a passenger and a freight train travelling on the same line collided head-on.

As the Supreme Court prosecutor noted, OSE management is required to inform the highest prosecutorial authority on the fatal accidents of the last 15 years, their location, the number of victims and injured, and what happened to the search for legal liability of those responsible.

Dogiakos is also reviewing the case file on the railroad accident at Adendro in Thessaloniki (May 2017), which caused 4 deaths and 10 injuries. Only one of the engineers who survived the accident was brought to trial, and he was acquitted.
