The three videos showing the freight train that collided in Tempi, submitted by the company Interstar on February 5, 2025, nearly two years after the accident, are authentic according to analysis at the forensic laboratories of the Hellenic Police.
The authenticity of the videos ‘proves that there was no illegal cargo’ on the freight train, as it appears to be carrying metal sheets, judicial sources told ‘Kathimerini.‘ Kostas Lakafotis, a member of the independent expert committee representing the families of the victims, told the newspaper that, ‘The fireball cannot be caused by silicone oils’ and that, ‘What we are looking for (illegal cargo) is small enough to fit anywhere,’ adding that it is the authorities’ responsibility to identify where it was located.
The appellate investigator of Larissa will send the results to the NTUA to be included in its expert report on the fireball, which is still pending.
The results of the investigation are expected to be sent today by the appellate investigator of Larissa to the NTUA to be included in its expert report on the fireball, which is still pending. After the submission of the Hellenic Police’s expert report on the videos, the employees of Interstar involved in locating the videos will also be called to testify before the investigator. The appellate investigator has summoned them for April 8 to explain the discrepancy in the dates shown in the videos, as they have a recovery date three days after their submission, on February 8, 2025.
