New appeals trial for Schmidheiny in Eternit asbestos deaths case

A new appeal trial has been ordered for Stephan Schmidheiny, facing aggravated manslaughter charges in the asbestos deaths case. The Supreme Court of Cassation has mandated a fresh appellate process for around 60 victims, while ruling that the statute of limitations has expired for 25 others. The Prosecutor General's Office aimed to maintain the previous prison sentence of 9 years and 6 months, but this request was denied.
