New location for the prisons in Agios Sozomenos
September 15, 2026
The plans for the new prisons are changing, with the area of Mathiatis being rejected. Instead, state land in Agios Sozomenos has been chosen, primarily due to cost and local residents' objections. The decision was made during a Justice Ministry meeting, where technical and financial parameters were evaluated. The new location offers advantages due to pre-existing infrastructure in the area. The ministry assured that the processes are moving forward without delays for the completion of the project.
