Thousands of Greeks take to the streets to demand justice for at least 57 people killed in the country's worst rail disaster
After Greece's transport minister resigned on Wednesday in the wake of the crash, his replacement, Giorgos Gerapetritis, vowed a"complete evaluation of the political system and the state".
Some families were still desperate to locate loved ones who were on the train and a few demonstrations turned violent on Friday as public anger increased over the role that government mismanagement played in the tragedy.Audio files were among the items seized during a police raid on the Larissa train station in central Greece, where Tuesday's crash happened, a judicial source told AFP news agency.
In Thessaloniki – Greece's second largest city – police said a protest of about 2,000 demonstrators turned violent on Thursday, with protesters throwing stones and petrol bombs.Survivors described scenes of horror and chaos when the crash occurred, with many dodging smashed glass and debris as the train keeled over.
