·

Violanta has said it is “still shaken” by the fatal incident at its Trikala, Thessaly, biscuit factory that left five people dead, stressing it is cooperating fully with authorities as investigations continue.

In a statement, the company said it deliberately limited public comment “out of respect for the memory of our people who were lost and their families,” adding that “in moments of mourning, responsibility and dignity come first.”

Violanta also cautioned against speculation, saying that while official investigations and legal proceedings are ongoing, “rumours and unfounded interpretations have been lightly circulated in public debate.”

Describing the case as complex, the company said a full and in-depth investigation was required and concluded that “respect for the memory of our people and the truth is imperative” as it awaits final findings.
