Violanta: The owner will file an appeal against the detention decision - The reason

The owner of the Violanta factory plans to appeal against a detention decision following a deadly explosion at the facility in January.

The owner of the Violanta factory, currently detained on suspicion of potential malice in connection with a deadly explosion that occurred on January 26, is preparing to file an appeal against the judge's and prosecutor's decision to detain him. His lawyer announced this intention, emphasizing the legal pathways available to contest the detention.

This legal development comes after the owner faced lengthy questioning regarding the explosion that resulted in fatalities. Reports indicate that he has been placed in custody at the Trikala prison following his extensive testimony. During his defense, the accused purportedly shifted blame towards the scientists responsible for approving the factory's operating permits, claiming that he was informed about the odor issue with significant delays.

The case has raised concerns about factory safety regulations and accountability in industrial operations, highlighting the complications that can arise in legal proceedings surrounding workplace disasters. The owner's impending appeal may shed light on the judicial perspectives around industrial safety and the responsibilities of factory owners in ensuring compliance with safety protocols.
