Four years after a cable car crash in northern Italy left 14 people dead, an Italian court has approved plea bargains that would see the main defendants avoid prison. AdvertisementFive people were prosecuted for manslaughter and negligence over the May 2021 tragedy in Stresa, one of the deadliest cable car accidents in Italian history. The prosecutor in Verbania on Thursday approved plea bargains ranging from three years and 10 months to four years and five months in prison for the three managers of cable car operator Ferrovie del Mottarone. Charges against two managers of the Leitner company, which owned the cable car, were dismissed. It was the first fatal incident involving a cable car in Italy since 1998, when a low-flying US military jet severed a cable at a ski resort, killing 20 people.
