It appears that from the link above that the entire reason for continuing with this judicial farce is for a 'moral victory' on behalf of the victim's families. I'm also pretty disturbed by the fact that the Cypriots have reopened the issue with a new trial. I can only assume that this is due to Greek political pressure as Cyprus will fall if the Greeks economy does eventually sink without being propped up by the Eurozone.
In that case they may attempt to prosecute everybody on duty in the respective jurisdictions of departure, overflight and impact right down to the baggage handlers.
Obviously we all feel sorry for the victims and their families but they're looking for their 'moral victory' at too high a cost.
