The man, who cannot be named under Greek law, was questioned for seven hours before a magistrate on Sunday before being detained.
On Thursday, Pantzartzidis said that his client was devastated and had assumed responsibility “proportionate to him” but other factors were also at play, without elaborating. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who blamed the crash on human error, acknowledged that decades of neglect could have contributed to the disaster.
After protests over the past three days across the country, some 10,000 people gathered in an Athens square on Sunday to express sympathy for the lives lost and to demand better safety standards on the rail network.“That crime won’t be forgotten,” protesters shouted as they released black balloons into the sky. A placard read: “Their policies cost human lives.”
