I'm in claims, and have handled some in Latin America and South Pacific. Most of the ones I can remember were not deemed criminal, and any civil settlements I(the insurance company) handled. So for instance, if our insured was responsible for a death or damage because they lost an engine and put it down on a highway, or went off the runway right into some poor bloke minding his own business, we pay the property damage, and wrongful death claim. The insured goes on their way, probably buys a new aircraft from the hull settlement.
Coming from the U.S. where filing a lawsuit is like breathing, overseas claims were simple. I hate to say it but what is paid out for a life in the 3rd world is a far cry from what is paid out in the 1st world. Now, if you don't have insurance, or your insurance doesn't apply internationally, you would be on the hook for any damages. I've never had any insureds prosecuted criminally though. It could be different in Eastern Europe.
