As he pointed out, it is unthinkable that one person unconsciously endangers the lives of many and now negligent arson that causes loss of human life and ecological destruction carries up to 10 years in prison.
Asked about the court decision on the fire in Mati, Mr. Kikilias pointed out: “I do not comment on the Justice, but I will make three points: First, this trial lasted six years, so it creates the feeling that its awarding is outdated justice with all that means. The second is that the citizen who negligently caused this fire from Penteli, resulting in the loss of all our fellow human beings, was tried based on the previous legislation and “got off the hook”. I want to inform Greek society that with the new criminal code, negligent arson with a risk index of 4 or 5 entails 10 years in prison and a fine of up to 200,000 euros. I say this to warn those few of our unconscious fellow citizens who go and do hot work in high temperatures and strong winds, burn dry grass or smoke their bees, that what has been legislated will take effect and no one will be able to escape and escape from it. The third thing I would like to comment on – being very careful and in no way involved in the judiciary, I have respected this over the years – is that of all those accused and those involved in the tragedy in Mati, only the Fire Department officers are to blame ; Of all that we’ve seen this season, is the Fire Department alone to blame?”
He added that, on a human level, all this is very heavy for the relatives and those who survived the fire in Mati and pointed out that there is a feeling in Greek society that it is difficult and with a delay to find one’s right. “However, I must say that this government has made important steps and significant efforts in this direction. And the new judicial charter and reforms to the criminal code that are in the right direction. I have publicly thanked Mr. Floridis because our job is to protect the many, so I consider it unthinkable that someone would risk the life of his fellow human beings and spare it. That won’t happen this year. Many fines have been imposed even before the fire prevention season has started and now we are talking about a felony for those who risk the lives of our compatriots,” said the minister.
