The owner of the Violanta factory plans to file an appeal against the ruling by an investigator and prosecutor that led to his detention. This decision followed a long interrogation related to a deadly explosion at the factory, which has raised significant concerns about safety regulations and oversight in industrial operations. The accused was taken into custody after he expressed his shock during the interrogation regarding the incident.

According to reports, the owner of the factory blames the engineers who approved permits, asserting that he was unaware of any potential for an explosion and had only learned about a gas smell long after the incident occurred. His lawyer claims that the owner had no malicious intent and emphasized that during the entire inquiry, he expressed his devastation at the outcome of the explosion. This situation reflects broader issues of accountability within industrial practices and the importance of thorough safety measures.

As the legal proceedings unfold, this case could have significant implications for regulatory policies governing industrial plants in Greece. It raises crucial questions about the responsibilities of management versus technical staff in ensuring workplace safety. The outcome of this appeal may not only affect the owner’s livelihood but also potentially lead to changes in safety protocols across similar facilities in the country, emphasizing the need for strict adherence to safety regulations.
