A court in Italy sentenced six Italian scientists and a government official to six years in prison on the 22 October 2012 for giving inadequate information to the city of L’Aquila just days before it was devastated by an earthquake in 2009 that killed 309 people. Marco Billi, the single judge of the regional court, found the seven experts guilty of multiple manslaughter following a trial that has drawn international condemnation and warnings that the scientific community would not dare to speak out on the subject of possible earthquakes in the future. |
