This past Wednesday, Swiss billionaire Stephan Schmidheiny–the heir to a construction materials group that he sold in the 1980s–was convicted on charges of aggravated manslaughter in the deaths of more than a hundred people tied to asbestos exposure and sentenced to 12 years in prison by a jury in an Italian court.
The development comes after nearly 20 years of legal proceedings against the Swiss Eternit Group¡¯s factories in Italy, which were sold by Schmidheiny in 1986, and which are alleged to have exposed workers and residents to asbestos. That exposure was associated with a large number of deaths due to mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses, the prosecutors claimed. The manslaughter conviction places blame on Schmidheiny–as former owner of the factories- for the deaths of 147 residents of the town of Casale Monferrato and factory employees there.
A spokesperson for Schmidheiny, who maintains his innocence, says she will appeal the verdict. A statement from his lawyer labels the conviction a ¡°miscarriage of justice¡± and also claims that the verdict violates Italian law. In an email with Forbes, Schmidheinhy¡¯s spokesperson Lisa Meyerhans Sarasin spelled out multiple reasons why she believes the verdict is not legal, including double jeopardy. In 2014 the Italian Supreme Court quashed a 16-year sentence for Schmidheiny leveled in 2012 by a court in Turin, Italy over charges of the deaths of 3,000 people allegedly exposed to asbestos by Eternit building materials in Italy. She also noted that asbestos processing was legal in Italy until 1992, while the trial covered the period from 1976 to 1986.
