The motion to annul the expert analysis of the three videos related to the Tempi railway disaster has been rejected. Today, the General Director of OSE Maintenance, who was present at the accident site from the first moment, testified before the Appellate Investigator handling the case. The Court of Appeals dismissed the motion filed by Mr. Aslanidis, the father of a victim, concerning the videos from the freight train.

Specifically, the Court of Appeals ruled against the annulment of the expert analysis of the three videos, which had been submitted to the Appellate Investigator on February 5 by the legal advisor of OSE’s security company, Interstar, according to ERT.

It is noted that Pavlos Aslanidis, father of Dimitris Aslanidis, had filed a request to invalidate the expert report compiled on February 13, 2025, regarding the three newly surfaced videos, arguing that the victims’ technical advisors were not invited to participate in the process.

The OSE official who testified today provided a detailed account of the events as he perceived them. According to judicial sources, his testimony includes details that must be analyzed to determine whether new charges will be filed against an individual regarding the accident.

Beyond the on-site investigations conducted after the accident, the judicial inquiry also focuses on the fireball, examining different scenarios regarding its cause after the explosion.

Today, lawyer and father of a victim, Mr. Psaropoulos, visited the investigator and submitted a supplementary technical report. According to the report, traces of xylene and toluene were found in 15 out of 50 locations examined by the State General Chemical Laboratory in 2023 and 2024.
