In the investigative authorities of Patras will apologize today the 25 -year -old arrested for the fire that broke out in Native of Patras and quickly became large due to the strong winds in the area.
His arrest was made on August 13, by OPEC men, while a photojournalist has testified as a witness who found him at the point where the fire broke out.
The 25 -year -old, however, denies each category and gives a different version of what happened at that point. He thinks that he not only did not set the fire, but he was the one who saw it and tried to erase it, but failed.
The 25 -year -old who faces the charge of arson has his family and his friends on his side, who support him. Indeed, during his transfer to the prosecution on Thursday afternoon, he was with him, at the courthouse and applauded him on his way out.
Strict penalties for arsonists
Both arrested in Patras, 19 and 27, respectively, are accused of fire in the Bundene.
The legal framework is now very strict, and now the “prison for fire is true.”
The category of intentional arson now provides for up to 20 years in prison and even imprisonment for negligence.
The judicial authorities, by implementing the new provisions, are stricter to arson accused and assessing the details of each case can even detain the detainees.
As was the case in the case of a Romanian in Rafina, who was detained on July 2, 2024. He had a criminal prosecution of a forest in a forest that may arise for a human being.
Although Romanian argued that he was not arsonist and tried to extinguish the fire, he did not convince the judicial authorities.
The 38 -year -old, like any defendant, saw a heavy administrative fine imposed on him. In his case, he exceeded 8,000 euros.
The pelican of Justice fell to the Corinthian alleged arsonist last July last year. He was sentenced to 37 months in prison without suspension. The 72 -year -old took the road to prison as the new legal framework is not suspended in the penalty and no conversion.
In addition, the arsonists are also confiscating property for damages.
The arson is even punishable by life imprisonment if the fire causes death.
