In a dramatic turn of events, Greek authorities have impounded the luxury yacht Persefoni I, docked in a harbor south of Athens. The 55-meter vessel's 13 crew members were arrested on suspicion of arson after allegedly setting off fireworks that ignited a nearby pine forest. This incident occurred during a party for 17 Kazakhstani passengers who had chartered the yacht.
Despite the crew denying the accusations in a Piraeus court, the island administration plans to sue for damages. This comes as Greece faces heightened wildfire risks and stricter arson penalties, with offenders now facing up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to €200,000. The blaze has added to the escalating wildfire crisis, with several regions, including Hydra and the Peloponnese Peninsula, already battling severe forest fires.

If the Kazh's should have been held responsible, they had enough money to charter the yacht, they should have enough money to pay the fine.
