At the end of last year, two students in Italy were accused of setting fire to the forest because of a mountain fire caused by barbecue. Recently, the court announced their punishment. The two students had to pay a total fine of 27 million euros (about 200 million yuan).
According to the BBC and the daily mail, local prosecutors said that on December 30 last year, the two 22-year-old students barbecued with friends near Lake Como in northern Italy to welcome the new year. The embers of the barbecue, coupled with the extremely dry environment, eventually triggered a fire. The fire lasted several days and burned 2471 acres (about 15000 acres) of forest, causing irreversible damage.
According to the Italian "Republic" previously reported that in addition to a large forest, several local buildings were also destroyed, and all livestock in one building were burned to death. It is reported that the huge fine for the two students was calculated by local officials according to a formula. The formula is used to determine the degree of loss caused by fire.
Although their behavior led to such serious consequences, the two students did not say that they would bear all the responsibilities after knowing their punishment results. In an interview with the Italian news, one of the students said he was' deeply sorry ', but there were many factors that triggered the mountain fire.
One of the students directly told the local media that they were the 'scapegoat' for the fire and said '(we) immediately notified the fire brigade to try to put out the fire. "
Even the lawyers of the two students questioned the punishment results: 'what is the significance of implementing such administrative sanctions & hellip& hellip; Clearly already know that these two boys are still students and can't afford to pay. "
It is unclear how the two students will pay the huge fine, and their lawyers will have three weeks to challenge the amount in the administrative court.
