“We are sending a clear and unambiguous message to all negligent or malicious arsonists: we will show absolutely zero tolerance.” This is what the Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Vassilis Kikilias, among others, points out in his post on “X” about the preventive arrest of a citizen who set fire to dry grass on land in Filiatra and will be taken to prison from Korydallos.
Specifically, Mr. Kikilias states:
“For forests, properties and even people’s lives, some people still don’t care, even though we have repeatedly warned that we will have a very difficult firefighting season this summer too. The irresponsible man from Filiatra, who despite the ban lit a fire to burn dry grass and garbage, was detained in custody based on the new, stricter law and will be taken to Korydallos prisons. The immediate response of our firefighters prevented the worst and the fire did not spread to neighboring houses, putting the entire settlement at risk. We are sending a clear and unambiguous message to all negligent or malicious arsonists: we will show absolutely zero tolerance.”
It should be noted that the Single Criminal Court of Kyparissia ordered that a local citizen who set fire to dry grass on land in the Filiatron Postal Code of the Municipality of Trifylia, on May 23 at 08:52, be detained in custody. He was arrested by investigating officers from PY Gargaliano.
The aforementioned will be taken to the Korydallos penitentiary, and an administrative fine of 2,148 euros will be imposed on him in violation of current legislation.

The irresponsible Filiatra, who despite the ban lit a fire…
