Second Albanian Worker Dies Following Explosion at Greek Refinery, Four Arrested

A second Albanian worker who was seriously injured in an explosion at a refinery in Greece a few days ago has died.

The 50-year-old victim, Dorian Hysa, sustained severe injuries and did not survive. The incident also claimed the life of 43-year-old Robert Cakaj.

Police have launched an investigation into the safety measures in place during maintenance work at the refinery. Authorities have also arrested four people who were directly involved in supervising the controversial project.

Those arrested include a 36-year-old foreman, a manager from the Health and Safety Department, and a project operator.

These three arrests follow the earlier arrest of the contractor responsible for the external work crew, which was carrying out work inside the refinery at the time of the accident.
