Ten years of judicial investigation , nine months of trial and , ultimately, the greatest cause ever educated in Spain by an environmental crime , the Prestige disaster , out with a single sentence : the old boat captain, Apostolos Greek Mangouras for an offense of grave disobedience to the Spanish authorities . It took three hours to accept towing the vessel in distress and pouring fuel, when he suffered the accident, which on Wednesday were met 11 years - off the Galician coast .
But the main accused by one of the biggest ecological disasters in Europe has been exonerated from any responsibility for the massive oil spill that stained mourning over 2,000 kilometers of coastline north west Spanish and French . It is also acquitted the chief engineer of the ship, Nikolaos Argyropoulos . The two Greek sailors did not act , determines the verdict announced by the Provincial Court of A Coruña, " or recklessly , or maliciously to take a risky navigation " commanding a tanker 26, in poor condition and loaded with 77,000 tons of fuel .

Royalty guilt is also the Spanish State , thanks full acquittal of the third defendant, former director of the Merchant Marine Jose Luis Lopez - Sors . It was even considered by the court , " and affected the disaster victim who tried to resolve " as the highest maritime authority at that time. There was also on its part or reckless or willful misconduct . It is the first time the State, the plaintiff and defendant in this " long and arid " trial time, is exempt from criminal and civil liability in an accident caused by a tanker in Spanish waters.
But those who do can have it from the civilian point of view , are elusive parts of the Prestige business network , specifically its setter , Universe Maritime, and the firm issued its latest airworthiness certificate , the classifier American Bureau of Shipping (ABS ) . Justice was unable to sit for any of those two companies on the bench. Spain was spent in vain EUR 30 million lawsuit to try to bring to American society , one of the world leaders in their sector. The Corunna Court , considering more than proven that the old oil was in such bad condition that should never have obtained , except fraudulently , permits to navigate , finds that " only may require timely civil responsibility" for the disaster to ABS and setter based in Athens but disappeared for the Spanish authorities.
The statement is very blunt in showy about the total lack of "honesty " of the classifier , " a private company that controls nothing less than the possibility of merchant shipping in much of the world , a highly profitable activity that manages enormous power and must respond accordingly. " Both inspections and repairs of the oil before its fateful last voyage were very poor. And while the fault considered impossible to determine the exact cause of the "extraordinary damage " suffered by the ship when sailing off Finisterre, considers as proven " structural failure " in the old oil , very worn and suitable for scrap to transporting fuel .
Much more benevolent, and even complimentary, is the court of crisis management by the government of José María Aznar, who was questioned by very socially and politically. True , say the three judges of the court, that " lack of rigor in the administrative and formal crisis management " was noted. But it was not shown that "it should have any impact on the worsening " of the disaster. And in any case responsible for the Government was to rank higher Lopez - Sors to which he had required that " exquisite rigor" in management. "It is unconvincing that liability did not depend directly from other authorities as or better advised that the defendant and the possibility to influence the crisis and its resolution much more quickly and efficiently ."
But the exalted office of the Ministry of Public Works was the only representative of the Administration accused at trial. And not negligent , they say the judges. They conclude that by as much as possible away from the coast and the wounded pouring fuel oil was the most appropriate and "prudent" . " Not that advice had not been developed , and there was the extremely competent ," reasons the Court. There was also no viable alternatives without risk , take it as a refuge . It would have been "catastrophic " that sank near the coast. " We did not impose any suicidal path " to the Prestige , which was six days spitting fuel by the Galician coast, north to south , before snapping and capsize. "The decision was conscious, thoughtful and largely effective in the disaster," the court judgment . He adds : "The administration handled with professionalism , adaptation and under very unfavorable conditions."
The ruling supports and defends the famous by Lopez- Sors , nothing more sinister , to bring the ship to sea "until it sinks " and then tried to recover the fuel inside the wreck happen . Holding court as evidence that was most suitable , economic and environmental recovery of the affected coastline . No data proving the "persistence" of damage , he says. Galicia, adds , and suffered three disasters caused by oil . And he recovered. Mangouras , 78 , will not return to prison. Already spent three months preventively detained around disembark the tanker on 15 November 2002. His sentence to nine months in prison for a crime is serious disobedience, but we will ask some responsibility for the spill , says the court , because his performance no worse disaster.
