Greece court sentences former state officials for 2020 deadly floods

Cyclone Ianos killed 3 people in central Greece in 2020.

"The death of those people was not an accident, was not a bad moment. It was a result of the collective failure of the state mechanism," Soufla told reporters outside the court.
