The Public Prosecutor's Office requested a five-year prison sentence for a defendant in the case related to the shipwreck that caused four deaths in Troia. The trial is taking place at the Setúbal District Court.
The four fatal victims were on board the vessel that sank. The accident occurred in the waters of the Troia area, in the district of Setúbal.
One of the lawyers representing the families of the four victims considered that the prison sentence imposed by the court should only be suspended if the claimed compensations, totaling hundreds of thousands of euros, are paid.
The case continues to proceed, with both parties presenting their arguments before the court.
