Overview

  • The Court of Appeal in Brescia has opened proceedings on the owner's bid to reclaim the Riva Aquarama named Orso.
  • A decision on whether to release the boat is set for January 26 after reports that its seizure was lifted following the convictions.
  • The victims' families are contesting any release, and their lawyer argues the couple's wooden boat lacked adequate night lighting.
  • Two Munich managers were convicted over the 2021 collision; the driver, found drunk and traveling at about four times the speed limit, received four years and six months, and the owner got two years and eleven months.
  • Reporting on the case says the men did not render aid and continued on, with the driver claiming he thought he struck driftwood, while the owner's lawyer now describes the Orso as a wreck that could be written off.
