The former captain of the Jolly Nero
cargo ship, Roberto Paoloni, got 10 years and four months in
jail Wednesday for the May 2013 Genoa port control tower
disaster that killed nine people and injured four. Genoa port
pilot Antonio Anfossi got four years and two months, first
officer Lorenzo Repetto eight years and six months, and chief
engineer Franco Giammoro seven years. They were found guilty of
multiple culpable homicide, causing a building collapse and
attacking transport security. Prosecutors had requested 20 years
and seven months for Paoloni. The container ship crashed into
the control tower and sent it tumbling down on May 7, 2013.
