Athens [Greece], August 2: Arsonists will face steeply increased fines, Greek Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilias has made clear following reports that many of the fires on the Greek mainland and islands this summer have been set deliberately.
Fines will rise to $ 33,000 and more, Kikilias told state broadcaster ERT. The move is aimed primarily at prevention, and the amount could double for repeat offenders.
