"I was not distracted" just before the Costa Concordia struck the rock. This is what the former captain Francesco Schettino cruise ship insured substance to the prosecutor on Tuesday in Grosseto in Italy during the resumption of his trial. This is the first time that Schettino, accused of homicide and reckless abandon ship, testifies as part of this open trial in July 2013.
"It is not the trial of a killer, stressed Schettino's lawyer, Domenico Pepe. It is a trial against a good man who always acted correctly, who worked hard through the ranks. An accident happened, an accident at sea, like many others. "
For his part, counsel for the plaintiffs said Fabio Targa hope to get a lot of "clarifications" with the testimony of Schettino. "Today, we hope to find the truth about the real responsibilities of the Costa company."
Costa Concordia tragedy occurred in January 2012 near the coast of the island of Giglio off the coast of Tuscany. The wreck remained submerged for two and a half years before being bailed out in July and transported to the port of Genoa to be dismantled.
