ATHENS - A Greek rail official charged over the country’s worst train disaster, which left 57 dead last month, was released on bail on Monday, his lawyer said.
He faces charges including endangering transport safety and negligent homicide, which carry a potential life sentence. Shortly afterwards, a passenger train and a freight train collided head-on after running on the same track for several kilometres.Greece’s transport minister resigned, and the disaster sparked weeks of angry and occasionally violent protests, piling pressure on Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis ahead of elections expected in May.
Two other railway officials – a third stationmaster and a supervisor - have also been charged in connection with the disaster and are to testify this week.
