Was swift and far . But the judgment of the Provincial Court of A Coruña on the disaster of ' Prestige ' , the greatest cause ever educated in Spain by an environmental crime , not put an end to a judicial investigation that lasted for nine years and a trial it lasted as long as a pregnancy. There will be resources. The main question is at issue is who pays , criminal and financially , the costs occasioned the catastrophe , that the prosecution has been estimated at 4.121 million euros. Depends on who is convicted and who declared vicariously liable , you can end up paying the State itself or the insurer of the sunken ship.
The president of the court, Juan Luis Pla, was assured in July, nothing to declare " for judgment " that the case will reach the Supreme. And more than two thousand appearing parties , represented by over hundred through lawyers shall initiate proceedings for civil liability claim based on the facts that determine the criminal judgment as "proven " . Not to mention , also in the list of pending and second portions of the largest ecological disaster in Spain , 10,000 tons of toxic waste that remains Xunta stored , waiting to get the money , 1.27 million euros , which requires treatment.
moreJudge ' Prestige ' : " It is obvious that many players missing here ""It's a miracle that the judgment of the ' Prestige ' is held "The fund for oil spills Spain criticizes wasteful ' Prestige 'The shipping of the ' Prestige ' accuses the government of " aggravate the accident"" Mangouras is a link of organized greed ," says state attorney
The ruling, which reading starts at 11.00 , just five before completing the 11th anniversary of the crash of oil old against Finisterre , decide the acquittal or conviction of the three retirees ended sitting on the dock : Apostolos Mangouras , the ship's captain that after three months of preventive prison takes eleven years in probation , Jose Luis Lopez - Sors , former CEO of Merchant Marine and sole representative of the Aznar government that managed the disaster , and Nikolaos Argyropoulos , chief engineer of ' Prestige ' . Charged is also the first official Philippine nationality , but is missing and he was never informed the prosecution. All allegations , particularly the prosecution itself , asking 12 years in prison for Mangouras , asked the court to compel a conviction not yet back to put behind bars a captain 78 years of age.
The objective of the Ministry is that through Mangouras operating subsidiary is declared civil liable owned the boat and especially its London insurer , the only solvent ship business network . Never Again the platform , among others, also seeks Lopez - Sors sentence of up to five years in prison.
" The trial was a pantomime , no worries people ," he said this summer the mayor of Muxia, Felíx Porto , he finished the long trial that was held at the fairgrounds in A Coruña. "It was excessive and meaningless ," agreed the judge Pia. Also failed to highlight qualms , resounding , that " many people missed among the defendants ," including " political responsibility" for the disaster management and directors " environment " of the ' Prestige ' .
Loaded with 77,000 tonnes of viscous and poor fuel quality, accident off Finisterre, 11 years ago today , followed by six days of erratic journey before break and capsize , finally dyeing black 1,600 miles of coast from the mouth of Minho , on the border with Portugal to the French Atlantic coast . Everything appears on this huge court case that generated 190 volumes of summary and involved multiple countries and international bodies . The old oil was flag Bahamas, owner of Liberia ( Mare Shipping), the Greek shipowner ( maritime Universe ); U.S. classification society that certified seaworthy (ABS ) ; London Insurance Company ( The London Steam - Ship Owners Mutual Insurance ) and Swiss charterer (Crown Ressources ) .
After nine years of haphazard and jumbled instruction Corcubión small court in the heart of the Costa da Morte considered ground zero for the huge and black tides , the organization of the trial , which began with the preliminary issues on 16 October last year, it cost the public purse Galician no less than 1.4 million euros. There was enabled Fairgrounds La Coruna to welcome, with all kinds of technical, computer and audiovisual media , many people declared by video conference - plus translators, a hearing in which happened nine months of witnesses, reviewing testing , videos, countless expert reports .
It was , however , a tranquil view, almost white collar , despite the constant barbs that did not stop launching the prosecution and lawyers for the two main defendants, the captain of the tanker Apostolos Mangouras and former Director General of Merchant Marine Jose Luis Lopez - Sors . And despite more than a decade of extensive research , was seen during the surprises and novelties. As the appearance , ten years later, a few recordings Salvage between two senior Fomento , the day after the accident, called for bringing the wounded sheltered boat to the port of A Coruña , instead of sending it, as finally was made to open sea as far from the coast. Or the theory of the killer tidal wave that both the defense captain ' Prestige ' endeavored to try to blame the initial cause of the incident instead of shabby old tanker , considered by many " a floating junk " that should never have been authorized to navigate , and less fuel -laden . There is also the landmark report commissioned by the prosecution to a professor at the University of Santiago who developed innovative formulas calculations to try to quantify the tiniest details and invoice all aspects of an ecological disaster like the ' Prestige ' . One study , this itself is beginning to be used in international forums as a precedent.
