Shipwreck that caused four deaths in 2024 off Troia occurred in a "dangerous zone" – Witnesses

At the Setúbal Court, the trial of Manuel Coelho, the only defendant and survivor of the sinking of a vessel off Troia, in April 2024, which caused the death of four people, including an 11-year-old child, is underway. Prosecution witnesses corroborated the Public Ministry's thesis that the sea conditions that day – with waves over three meters high and low tide – made the Restinga area, known for its dangerous sandbanks, particularly unsafe for navigation. The 64-year-old defendant is charged with four counts of negligent homicide for having decided to make the recreational cuttlefish fishing trip, knowing the conditions were not safe. The trial continues on Wednesday.
