Incidents that transpired at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) have prompted a prosecutor's intervention. According to reports from ERT, on Monday afternoon, the Chief Prosecutor of Appeals in Thessaloniki, Leonidas Nikolopoulos, responded to events that took place early Sunday morning. He ordered the initiation of a preliminary investigation by the First Instance Prosecutor to ascertain whether the university administration was aware of a party that took place, whether any requests were filed and approved for the event, and what stance the security company engaged by AUTH took regarding this incident.

The university's administration has already stated that they did not grant permission for the event in question. The prosecutor's investigation seeks to clarify not just the permissions related to the party but also the broader implications regarding safety and security at the campus. This situation raises questions about accountability for events that occur within university grounds, especially concerning student safety and the management of external events. Furthermore, it highlights the need for clear protocols governing such gatherings to prevent any future incidents.

As the investigation unfolds, the university community and the public will be watching closely to see how the authorities respond to these incidents. The outcome could have significant implications for university policies and could lead to changes in how events are monitored and managed in the future, as well as affecting the reputations of those involved, particularly regarding campus security regulations and university governance.
