A judge in Tuscany fined Italian cruise line Costa Crociere SpA 1 million euros (US$1.3 million) Wednesday for the 2012 shipwreck of the Concordia cruise ship that killed 32 people.
Costa had asked for a plea bargain deal to respond to the administrative sanctions, which under Italian law are for companies whose employees commit crimes. Judge Valeria Montesarchio of the Grosseto tribunal accepted the plea after a hearing.
Costa, a division of Miami-based Carnival Corp, has sought to blame the disaster on Captain Francesco Schettino, who took the cruise ship off course and rammed it into a reef off the Tuscan island of Giglio on January 13, 2012.
