One person was convicted and two were acquitted for the fire that broke out last week between Filo and Peukon, burning a total of 22 hectares of forest land. Three men working on road reconstruction in the area were accused of negligence-related arson. The fire appears to have started from sparks generated during the cutting of a metal beam using a wheel. The Single-Member Penal Court of Thessaloniki sentenced the operator of the wheel to two months' imprisonment with suspension, acquitting the other two, including the project supervisor.
