The owner of the Viollanta biscuit factory has been ordered to be detained after being questioned by the investigator, with the prosecutor's agreement. He was arrested again on Saturday following the upgrade of charges to a felony in connection with a deadly explosion at his facility. New findings from the investigation by the Fire Arson Crimes Department reveal that the charges have been elevated to include potential intentional explosion and involuntary manslaughter due to negligence.

On the day of his arrest, ERT News captured the moment officials from the Fire Arson Crimes Department placed handcuffs on him inside his business premises. Following his arrest, the businessman was taken to the Fire Department's headquarters and then to the courts, where he provided testimony regarding the new charges before the investigator in Trikala. The evidence collected by experienced investigators indicates serious lapses in safety that could lead to further legal ramifications.

The tragic incident, which resulted in the deaths of five women at the food factory, has raised significant concerns about workplace safety regulations in Greece. As investigations continue, many are calling for stricter measures to prevent such disasters in the future. The fallout from this case could have implications for the food manufacturing sector, leading to increased scrutiny and potential reforms in safety procedures across the industry.
