"A plane not flight worthy due to technical problems was allowed to take off and, as a consequence, a deadly plane crash took place, killing all 57 people on board,” was an allegation made by one of the attorneys during the criminal trial currently in progress in Isparta, Turkey as reported by the Turkish press:

Whilst we have been discussing under another thread, the Concorde criminal trial, another criminal trial involving many similar issues is also in progress in Turkey.

I wonder what will ensue after the publication of the final investigation report on the THY Schipol B737 crash.
