THE Italian trial against captain Francesco Schettino, the man blamed for the deadly Costa Concordia shipwreck, has entered its final week, with a court ruling expected in the coming days.
THE 54-year-old is charged with negligence, manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning ship. He faces a potential jail sentence of 26 years and three months.
On the night of January 13, 2012, the Concordia was taken off its planned route and steered close to the island of Giglio, where it hit rocks and partially capsized.Thirty-two of the 4229 people on board died in the accident, but according to Schettino's attorney, the captain's actions prevented a far worse catastrophe."Did Schettino make the right or wrong decisions? The right ones!" lawyer Domenico Pepe told the court on Monday during his closing arguments."If he had immediately ordered an evacuation, 4000 people would be dead," he said.On Tuesday, the prosecution and lawyers representing plaintiffs were due to speak one final time, before the court retires to consider a verdict that could be issued later on the same day or Wednesday.Any verdict is subject to appeal, and in Italy defendants are normally not jailed until a final judgment.The prosecution has claimed that Schettino is a flight risk and has called on the judges to have him arrested if he is convicted.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
