A commotion broke out today on Spetses, specifically in the Zogeria area, when a helicopter landed on a beach where swimmers were present. The Piraeus district attorney intervened and requested the police’s preliminary investigation files.
In fact, during the landing, strong winds from the rotors kicked up a thick cloud of dust and sand, causing the beachgoers to move away from the area.

Police and Coast Guard rushed to the scene, while the relevant authorities launched an investigation to determine the circumstances under which the landing took place and whether the required procedures were followed; the prosecutor will then take over the case.
The incident sparked outrage, as the landing took place in an area where civilians were swimming, creating a safety hazard for the swimmers, and it comes just a few weeks after the helicopter landing in Sarakiniko on Milos.
