After allegations brought by the Communications and Works Minister and the chief of police, the attorney general issued search warrants for the central offices of Helios to collect documents and other evidence that might be useful in a possible criminal investigation," spokesman Marios Karoyan told Reuters. What are the allegations?

They're stated in a number of the previous threads but in summation it seems to be that for this airline there have been repeated previous complaints by passengers on this airline about circulation problems in the cabin, it being very cold, etc.
To: Rodney King
From what I heard on FOX there have been some allegations that complaints about the safety of that type of plane may have been ignored.

Skimping on safety
and having an accident
isn't bad business
in the modern world,
it just makes the businessmen
unlucky gamblers.

Sounds like they were cutting corners on the maintenance dollars.

On Cyprus, several callers to radio and TV programs said they experienced severe air-conditioning problems on Helios jets in recent months, AP reported.
Some callers said the cabin was freezing and the crew provided blankets, while others said it became unbearably hot.
Refusing to fly
Greek state television quoted the Cyprus transport minister as saying the plane had decompression problems in the past. But a Helios representative said the plane had "no problems and was serviced just last week," according to AP.

Oh, I didn't mean to suggest that Pan Am was at fault, but they are representative of plane crashes being bad for business.
