In Mati, near Athens, Greece, a fire in 2018 resulted in the deaths of 104 people. In the trial related to the fire, 10 defendants were found guilty of negligence.

The Athens Court of Appeals convicted eight former firefighters and the former secretary general of civil protection, who were held responsible for the fire's outbreak. The fire had started in a person's garden.

Families of the victims expressed disappointment with the court's decision. The Mati Victims Association placed 120 white roses in the courtroom.

The court is expected to announce the sentences for the defendants tomorrow. Families hope for justice to be served.
