Plea Bargains Accepted
Five defendants: Roberto Ferrarini, director of Costa Cruises' crisis unit, cabin service director Manrico Giampedroni, first officer Ciro Ambrosio, Indonesian helmsman Jacob Rusli Bin and third officer Silvia Coronica had their day in court.
Sentences ranged from 18 - 34 months. It is unlikely that any of them will actually have to serve jail time as sentences less that 2 years are suspended in Italy and longer sentences can be appealed.
Costa Concordia jail sentences
- Roberto Ferrarini - two years and 10 months
- Manrico Giampedroni - two years and six months
- Ciro Ambrosio - one year and 11 months
- Jacob Rusli Bin - one year and eight months
- Silvia Coronica - one year and six months
