Unconfirmed but quite possibly true: a 35 y-o local Greek male on Levkas yesterday had a fortunate escape after he was bitten by a Latrodectus tredecimguttatus, a.k.a. Mediterranean black widow / European black widow spider. It's likely the man had been working outside his property and the spider entered a shoe or glove for shelter during a work break. Although potentially painful the bite is only rarely fatal to humans.

False evidence by Post Office’s expert contradicted his own report
A senior Fujitsu engineer made a false statement to court about the flawed Post Office IT system, contradicting a report he had written days earlier.
The BBC has obtained Gareth Jenkins' 2010 statement, which helped wrongly jail pregnant postmistress Seema Misra.
It said there were "no cases" where branch accounts could be altered without postmasters' knowledge.
But he had just produced a Post Office report which proposed remotely altering data in branches to fix a bug.
Mr Jenkins, Fujitsu's former chief IT architect, is currently being investigated by the Metropolitan Police for potential perjury, the BBC understands. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68857142
