Managers found guilty in Prato Trial

Three Teresa Moda warehouse managers have been found guilty for the death
of seven Chinese garment workers, who were killed over a year ago in a
factory fire in Prato, Italy.

Judge Silvia Isidori handed a guilty verdict to the trio on Monday for a
number of charges including arson, exploitation of foreign workers,
homicide and lack of mandatory safety measures in the factory.

The judge handed out separate sentenced to the managers and as well as
fines, with Lin You Lan being sentenced to eight years and eight months in
prison, whilst Hu Xiaoping and Lin You Li were handed sentences of six
years and six months and six years and ten months, respectively.

The three have to pay an estimated 500,000 euros in damages to the city of
Prato and four unions who filed civil suits against them during the court
proceedings. The sentences are not as hefty as the prosecution had
originally called for.

Lorenzo Gestri, Prato deputy public prosecutor asked for a sentence of ten
years and eight months for Lin You Lan, and sentences of eight years for
her co-offenders.

The defense lawyer for the trio, Gabriele Zanobini, revealed to WWD that he
aimed to appeal the sentence towards the end of May, after reading the
judge’s motivations, as he believed the three did not mean to cause their
workers harm.

If the appeal is granted, a new hearing could occur during the second half
of 2016.
