In addition, Mr. Kikilias points out that today the prosecutor decided to detain a 33-year-old man, who was arrested by the DAEE for arson for three fires in Magoula on July 31 and August 1, while adding that “they will not stop investigating in depth one by one all fires, so that the culprits are brought to justice and pay the consequences of their criminal actions.”
The following is the full statement of Mr. Kikilia regarding the arrests for arson in Vari, Magoula and Domoko:
“Today, a 66-year-old man was brought before the investigator who was arrested by the DAEE for arson with intent in the 4 dangerous fires that our firefighters faced in Vari on June 8 and 9. He was given a deadline to apologize on Thursday and is now being held in GADA.
Also, today the prosecutor decided to detain a 33-year-old man, who was arrested by the DAEE for arson that caused 3 fires in Magoula Elefsinas on July 31 and August 1.
Yesterday, three more men were arrested who are accused of causing the fire in Koromilia Domokou while performing hot work. Strong ground forces, 7 aircraft and 1 helicopter fought hard to save the threatened settlement as the fire broke out next to houses.
The new Penal Code foresees prison terms of up to 10 years for negligent arson – as the offense has now become a felony – and up to 20 years for arson.
We will not stop investigating in depth one by one all fires, so that those responsible are brought to justice and pay the consequences of their criminal actions.”
It is noted that as stated in the announcement of the Fire Department, he was arrested yesterday by DAEE officers, a citizen, in execution of an arrest warrant, as being responsible for causing four fires in the countryside, on purpose and as a result, on June 8 and 9, 2024, in the area of Heroma in Vari, Attica. The above was taken today to the Athens Prosecutor’s Office and is being held to apologize again.
