The chief executive officer at Italian firm ThyssenKrupp has been sentenced to almost 17 years in prison after 7 employees died in a fire in 2007 at one of the company’s plants.
The company was fined nearly £900,000 for the serious fire safety breaches.
Other senior officials at the company, Marco Pucci, Gerald Pregnitz, Giuseppe Salerno and Cosimo Cafueri were all sentenced to 13 and a half years in jail, and Daniele Moroni was given just under 11 years.
Prosecutor, Raffaele Guariniello said that the verdict would “mean a lot for health and safety at the workplace”.
