Greece's Deputy Minister of Transport has reported an alleged "criminal attempt" of sabotage on the telecontrol system of the Athens-Thessaloniki railway line, raising serious safety questions.

Sabotage has been reported on the telecontrol cables of the Athens-Thessaloniki railway line in Platý Imathías, where cables were cut in three places but not stolen, raising questions about the motive.

Reports indicate corruption on the Athens-Thessaloniki main railway line, with cement found broken but cables untouched, suggesting a possible abandoned sabotage attempt.
