The Greek Supreme Court prosecutor had earlier ordered an investigation, with government spokesman Yiannis Economou stating that the two trains had traveled “several kilometers” towards each other on the same track.
According to Reuters, a government official said the Larissa station master had been arrested after testifying before prosecutors.
Prosecutors filed misdemeanor charges against him, a police officer said. He was charged with causing mass death by negligence, and causing grievous bodily harm.
The police said the man denied any wrongdoing and attributed the accident to a possible technical fault.
