Concordia survivors seek justice
The first hearing of the criminal investigation into the Costa Concordia’s shipwreck was held in a theatre today instead of a courthouse because of high demand, with angry survivors seeking compensation, justice and the truth.
The judge at the hearing assigned four experts to analyse the cruise ship’s data recorder and ordered them to report their findings in July, confirming predictions by prosecutor Francesco Verusio that examination of the data, as well as of conversations involving officers on the ship’s bridge, could take months.
