Reply to Nikos Plakia Following Salo caused in the last few hours, in the aftermath of their posting on the professional status of Kostas Lakafosi in the shadow of the horrible accident at Tempiwas issued by the Deputy President and President of the Railway of EPAAAM, Christos Papadimitriou.
It is recalled that yesterday (04.04.25) Nikos Plakias, who lost his twin daughters and his niece in the tragedy of Tempi, posted a fire on fire to Kostas Lakafosiwhich he accused of opposing the profession, as he claimed he never did the work of the engineer. “ENDASAM and Mr. Papadimitriou knows all this?” He asked.
In his announcement today, Mr. Papadimitriou made it clear that the organization “was never convened with any expert and did not pay no amount other than the Rise Stockholm Institute and the University of Gentio”.
He states that “the land (Independent Experts Investigation Committee) has never been asked by the Commission to be contracted and has never been contracted with EPAAAM, but with ERA, on specific issues with a contract that has not been disclosed or approved (after all).
More specifically, Mr. Papadimitriou’s statement:
“Information on the procedure and further investigation of a Tempe railway accident of 28.2.2023
The tragic railway accident of Tempi on 28.2.2023 was investigated by the Hellenic Committee appointed by the EPANAAM, at the request of the European Authorities, consisting of two prominent executives of the European Railway Organization and one of the EPAAAMs as a regular member and a regular member of the EPAAAM. EPONAAMA. The investigation was made with complete independence and autonomy by the investigation committee.
From the first moment, with five total press releases, and his oral announcements, the president of the railway sector called on all victims’ experts to cooperate and assist the committee’s work.
The Commission met and worked with all those who expressed such a request, and in the following days the Council has invited both the professor of the Evelpidon School Mr. Liolio and the team of expert Mr. Kokotsakis at their request, which unfortunately was presented.
EPANAAM has never been convened with any expert and did not pay no amount other than the Rise Stockholm Institute and the Gent University as well as a German Institute for the Fire Protection. Investigation Committee is the only responsible for writing the finding and the choice of its partners.
When the Council was reported on 26/2/2025, which was drawn up after full independence by the Commission, the Council as a must have approved the finding, which there is an explicit provision for further certification of the original estimates and results of the CFD method regarding the fireplace, as requested by the Council.
The finding of EPODAAM is a good scientific work, and its official translation in Greek will go up to its website and sent to the judicial authorities no later than Friday 11/4/2025.
The committee that drafted it no longer exists as such, and now the task of certifying the results of the finding, and in particular those simulations of the CFD method, which is the only open point, belongs to ENDASAM.
Although under the legislation but also a fixed international practice, even a comprehensive accident investigation file opens again when there are newer elements that justify this, there is no such evidence at present that justify this.
By the unanimous decision of the Council and the agreement of the investigation committee drafted by the finding, it was decided to certify the results of the CFD method for fireplace from well -known prestigious institutions.
First of all, the process of drawing up a contract with Democritus has already begun to undertake the task of certifying the simulations included in the findings and the process of his new simulations, with a horizon of completing his work of 5-6 months.
In addition, it has already been agreed with a leading national university institution whose name will only be made public after the completion of the investigations, at the explicit requirement of the professors of this University, so that they can be made without any pressure, the work of related experiments and computations.
In addition, contacts have already launched to assign to a well -known prestigious specialized institution of the foreign similar project, provided that this is ultimately deemed necessary.
Upon completion of all these work, it has already been agreed that the outcomes and all work and investigations will be notified on the EPANAAM website and to the competent authorities with full clarity and transparency, as due.
The Council of EPANAAM is made up of well -known prosecutions and former flying senior Air Force Officers and has a full awareness of his responsibility and mission as a National Air and Railway Authority to do so to do anything to do anything to The conflict was the tragic cause of the death of a significant number of passengers of the IC 62 train.
It is our self -evident obligation to the 57 dead, which we will never forget, Gerasimos, and their families, who have been giving their fair struggle for more than two years, to become complete transparent and that will happen.

“Our lawyer Mr. Koumbouras Leonidas, always seeking the truth in accordance with the command we have given him and in full understanding and identifying with the families he represents, claimed that Mr. Lakafosis, while declaring a mechanical engineer, has never had a professional rights,
“Mr. Lacafosis today admitted that all of the above is true. A technical adviser to our “National Expertise” never practiced the profession of engineer and people have so far thought he was an engineer so they called him on the panels when he was painting loads. For the continued retardation of this profession, justice and the TEE of Greece will intervene immediately. Really the engineers of our country and the scientific world who sweats every day in the freelance profession and the president of the TEE what do they have to say about all this? “He continued.
“They will all allow them to play toys on our dead children. My lawyer Leonidas Koumboura was accepted. Finish the lies so far! Only with the truth do we walk and we will go as much as some like! PS: ENDERSAAM and Mr. Papadimitriou know all this? “Nikos Plakias continued in his post.
