No, it's in Italy. A true black spot on European aviation safety for the way it prosecutes following aviation accidents.

However,
All were tried in their absence, and their lawyers said they would appeal
Good luck to them! Everyone who listened to the leaked CVR tape will know those pilots should be hailed as heroes, not trialed like criminals. Absolutely outstanding job, and textbook CRM work.

This is utterly disgusting though:
ANSA quoted the mother of one of the victims, Angela Trentadue, as saying that she was "quite satisfied with the judgement, even though no one can give me my daughter back".
