Another delay for Francesco Schettino, the Costa Concordia's former captain who was sentenced to 16 years in prison for the 2012 shipwreck. On April 8, the surveillance court in Rome will determine whether to grant him semi-freedom, a measure to which he is entitled after serving half of his sentence. If the request is approved, Schettino will be able to leave the Rebibbia jail during the day to work on document digitization for the Fabric of St. Peter's, thanks to an offer acquired through the "Seconda Chance" association, which assists inmates in their reintegration into the workforce. Yesterday's session, in which the former commander participated via video link, was postponed due to a change in the magistrate rapporteur, who would now need to review the file.
