The prosecution are also asking for removal of his pilots licence.

The accident report particularly points to his actions as a main factor in the crash. The captain died.
From what I remember it was not a shortage of fuel that caused the aircraft to come down on the N340 road, just short of the runway, but an alleged action on the flight deck.

The paper is actually named "Sur in English".

I read the article on Friday, when the paper was published, but thought better of putting the news on the forum, as the trial has not taken place and three years plus loss of licence is the MAXIMUM punishment that he can receive.

A bit of attempted sensational reporting from the paper.
