The Body of Public Administration Inspectors and Auditors (SEEDD) found serious oversights on the part of Elliniko-Argiroupolis Municipality regarding the legality of the amusement park operating within the bounds of the municipality where a tragic accident occured in late April, resulting in the death of a 13-year-old boy and the injury of his nine-year-old sister.
The Body of inspectors and auditors concluded their investigation within five days and submitted its findings to the Administrative Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
The report was also sent to the Athens Prosecution Authorities so it can be included in the ongoing investigation over possible criminal charges as well as to the secretary general of Attica Decentralized Administration Manolis Aggelakas over a possible disciplinary action against municipality officials.
SEED found, among other oversights, that the leasing of the site was not legal.
The HAPPY FUN Company installed and operated the amusement park without having the required license, since the municipality had never issued it.
Moreover, the municipal departments and services never asked the company to provide the necessary documentation, even though the municipality regularly received leasing fees nor did they take any action to end its unlawful operation.
