The Public Prosecutor's Office requested a sentence of no less than five years in prison for the coxswain of the boat that sank in Troia, causing four deaths and a single survivor. The final arguments of the trial took place recently, marking the final phase of the judicial process.
The boat sank off Troia, a Portuguese coastal area. The accident resulted in four fatalities, with only one person surviving the sinking.
During the trial, opposing versions emerged about the causes of the tragedy. The Public Prosecutor's Office considered the coxswain responsible and requested a sentence of at least five years in prison for the defendant.
On the other hand, the coxswain's defense insisted that the sinking resulted from an "unforeseeable wave," seeking to dismiss their client's responsibility for the accident that caused the death of four people.
