Owner of "Violanta" to Appear Before Investigator Amid Safety Concerns

The owner of "Violanta" is expected to appear before the Trikala investigator today, Wednesday, to answer questions regarding the fatal explosion that claimed the lives of five workers. The operation of the businessman's second factory in Larissa has been suspended due to a lack of fire safety certificates. Inspections at a third factory revealed a warehouse not included in the fire safety study and lacking necessary safety measures. Employee testimonies reveal long-term propane leaks and safety omissions, with management having rejected a bid to replace the pipelines. A study by mechanical engineers submitted in July had highlighted deficiencies and deviations from legislation.
