Two brothers aged 43 and 49 years old, respectively, face criminal charges, including for endangering public safety, after allegedly stealing a railroad tie.

A full-time stationmaster working for Hellenic Railways (OSE) was released on conditions on Tuesday after testifying about his role in the Tempe railway disaster on February 28 that claimed 57 lives.
