Concordia reportage
Rome (CNN) -- Five people were convicted of multiple
manslaughter and causing personal injury Saturday over the deadly wreck
of the Costa Concordia cruise liner off the Italian coast last year --
but only two may serve any prison time under the plea bargain accepted
by the judge.
The convictions, the first in the case, came after Judge Pietro Molino accepted their plea bargain Saturday morning.
The five were originally
co-defendants with the cruise ship's captain, Francesco Schettino. But
he is now being tried separately on charges of multiple manslaughter in
the wreck and abandoning ship. Court proceedings in his case began this
week.
Thirty-two people died
when the Costa Concordia, a luxury liner carrying 3,200 passengers and
1,000 crew members, struck rocks off the Italian island of Giglio on
January 13, 2012.
Another 150 people were
injured in the evacuation of the ship -- 65 of them seriously. The
injuries include partial paralysis, amputations and, in one case,
blindness.
Under the deal, Roberto
Ferrarini, Costa Cruises' emergency manager in Genova, was sentenced to
two years and 10 months in prison and Manrico Giampedroni, hotel
director of the Costa Concordia, was given two years and six months.
