A 55-year-old Greek national was arrested by officers of the Attica Traffic Police Directorate, specifically from the Road Accident Prevention and Control Teams (O.E.P.T.A), after being caught speeding excessively on the Ymittos Ring Road.

The incident occurred late on the night of Wednesday, April 23, in the Pallini area. According to reports, the driver was clocked at 212 km/h, while the maximum speed limit on that stretch of road is 80 km/h.

Two minors were also in the vehicle

The speeding violation was detected by a radar device, and the excessive speed posed a serious risk to both the driver and other road users. Even more concerning was the presence of two minor children in the vehicle, which led authorities to also charge the man with endangering the welfare of minors.

A case file has been opened against the 55-year-old for dangerous driving and child endangerment, and he has been subjected to the appropriate administrative penalties.

The arrested man was brought before the relevant Prosecutor for further legal proceedings.
