Zoe Konstantopoulou, speaking from Larissa where the trial regarding the destruction of video evidence from a commercial train that collided with a passenger train at the site of the deadly Tempi disaster continues, has described the order for exhumation issued by the Larissa Prosecutor as illegal. During her statements, Konstantopoulou emphasized that the legal battle is fraught with challenges, lamenting that the very judges and prosecutors who should be allies in the pursuit of justice are instead obstructing the process.

As she reflects on the three-year anniversary of the tragedy, Konstantopoulou reaffirmed the commitment of the victims' families to seek truth and accountability. She accused the authorities of attempting to suppress evidence related to the disaster, which she termed a systematic effort to bury the case that has deeply impacted numerous lives. The discovery of video footage and other corroborating evidence is critical for the families who are still reeling from the tragedy and seeking closure.

The case highlights significant issues within the judicial system, particularly the actions of prosecutors and their implications for transparency in legal proceedings. Konstantopoulou's assertions signal a growing tension between the families advocating for justice and the legal framework that some perceive as actively resisting their efforts. The outcome of this case and the response to Konstantopoulou’s claims may influence public trust in the judicial system as a whole, particularly in the wake of such a high-profile disaster.
