In the appeal case over a fatal boat accident on Lake Garda, an Italian court has confirmed the prison sentences for the two suspects.
The appeal court in Brescia ruled against reduced sentences for the two Germans demanded by the defense, Italian public broadcaster Rai reported on Friday. The two men were sentenced at first instance in 2022 to prison terms of four and a half years, two years and eleven months respectively.
On June 19, 2021, the two Germans rammed the wooden boat of an Italian couple from the area popular with holidaymakers near Salò on Lake Garda in northern Italy. 37-year-old Umberto Garzarella and his girlfriend Greta Nedrotti (25) have died. After the convictions, the two appealed at first instance.
The Italian legal system has three authorities. There is therefore a good chance that the lawyers of the two men will appeal again. According to Italian media reports, the boat driver was able to leave house arrest and was released just a few months later after the first conviction in March 2022. It was initially unclear whether and when the convicts would have to go to prison. (sda/dpa)
