The 45-year-old driver involved in the fatal accident in Chania, which claimed the life of 22-year-old Panagiotis, has been temporarily detained after his court appearance. With a blood alcohol concentration of 1.99 grams per litre—well above the legal limit—the driver faces serious felony charges. During his brief apology, he expressed deep remorse, stating he wished he could have taken the victim’s place. The final decision on his incarceration is yet to be made.

Two men have been placed in pretrial detention following the assault of a 26-year-old French tourist in Rethymno, Crete, which left the victim with serious head and facial injuries. The charges were upgraded from a misdemeanour to a felony by the Rethymno Misdemeanour Court. Two other suspects were released but will still face trial, with video evidence suggesting that the altercation involved the tourist and his group.
