Tempi trial: Court weighs station master's phone exam as relatives testify

The trial for the Tempi train disaster continues at the Larissa Court of Appeals with testimony from victims' relatives. The court is also deciding on a request to examine the confiscated mobile phone of the accused station manager on duty that night. The prosecutor recommended lifting confidentiality and conducting a forensic examination of the device for calls, messages, and apps like Viber, including recovering deleted files. This request followed testimony from the daughter of the deceased train driver, who mentioned an "eleven-minute gap" in communications before the collision. Maria Karystianou, mother of victim Martha Psaropoulou, is expected to testify this week. A total of 36 former and current railway officials face charges, with 33 accused of dangerous interference in transport potentially resulting in life imprisonment.
