The preliminary hearing judge Peter Molino di Grosseto began the proceedings pending in the Modern Theatre of Grosseto for the processing of requests for trial against Francesco Schettino and other five suspects made by the public prosecutor of Grosseto at the end of the investigation on the sinking of the ship Costa Concordia.

In this phase, the preliminary hearing judge will have to decide on the positions of the six suspects: the same Schettino, and his deputy on the bridge Ciro Ambrosio, the officer Silvia Coronica, the helmsman Indonesian Jacob Rusli Bin, l '"hotel director" Manrico Giampedroni and the coordinator of the emergency unit of the Costa Cruises fleet, Roberto Ferrarini.

The Municipality of Isola del Giglio will ask at least € 80 million in damage from Costa Cruises."The figure is the result of the current estimate, but the final amount of damage can be quantified only after the removal of the ship," he said on the sidelines of the lawyer Alessandro Maria Ilex, which defends the council along with the study Pavia Ansaldo. Meanwhile, a source of direct knowledge of the matter said that the removal of the wreck of the Costa Concordia will most likely roll over again from the last date specified: it will go beyond autumn of 2013, probably the summer of 2014. There is a risk that the wreck, the detention in port after that will be straightened not resist the storms of autumn.
