Mati fires

Justice for one of Greece’s deadliest fires in 2018 remains elusive as the appeal trial which opened on Monday has been pushed back to July 16.

The lower court's original verdict on the Mati fire sparked public outrage by imposing prison sentences of only 3 to 5 years, which could be converted into fines of just 10 euros per day.

An appellate court will hear the appeal of those tried in the first instance in relation to the devastating 2018 Mati wildfire, which resulted in 104 fatalities and numerous serious injuries

Only six out of the 21 defendants in the case were found guilty in the 2018 Mati wildfire trial
