The court ruled the scientists guilty of manslaughter and sentenced them to 6 years in jail.
Over 5000 international scientists sent an open letter to President Giorgio Napolitano denouncing the trial.
Enzi Boschi (former president of Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology) said, ”I am disappointed and devastated. I thought I would be cleared. I still don’t understand of what I am accused.”
