VOICED: Condena historica por amianto

A Turin court sentenced two former Eternit executives to 16 years in prison for causing 3,000 deaths due to asbestos use in construction materials. Asbestos, a fibrous mineral, is linked to cancer and high mortality rates. The trial was historic, bringing justice to victims, including the sentencing of Swiss billionaire Stéphane Schmidani and Belgian baron Jean-Louis-Marie Gislain de Cartier-de-Marchén. Asbestos was once considered a miracle material for its heat resistance but was banned in the EU in 2005, though it is still used in some developing countries.
