==================================
Convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Turin on Monday, the two men were each sentenced to serve 16 years in prison. In addition, they will have to pay millions of euros in punitive damages.
Schmidheiny and Jean-Louis Marie Ghislaine De Cartier were the majority shareholders in the Eternit Genova company, which owned four asbestos factories in Italy.
In a statement following the ruling, a spokesman for Schmidheiny announced his client would appeal the verdict. He described the ruling as ¡°completely incomprehensible¡±.
The hearing on Monday attracted hordes of journalists as well as several mayors from around Italy. Neither Schmidheiny nor Cartier were present.
According to the court, more than 3,000 people died from the consequences of asbestos dust in those factories. Schmidheiny and Cartier were accused of knowing about the dangers of asbestos but not taking the necessary measures to protect those who came into contact with it.
The Swiss-based construction company was blamed for spreading asbestos fibres over much of northern Italy by allowing dust from the production of roofing materials and pipes to blow around.
Punishment
The prosecution had called for 20-year sentences, but the judge issued somewhat more lenient 16-year prison terms.
The court sentenced the men to pay significant punitive damages: ¢æ25 million ($33 million) to be paid to the town of Casale Monferrato; ¢æ20 million to the Piedmont region; and ¢æ15 million to Inail, Italy¡¯s national accident insurer. Cartier must also pay ¢æ4 million to the town of Cavagnolo.
In addition, each man has to pay ¢æ70,000-100,000 to eight organisations including labour unions and WWF. The asbestos victims themselves are to receive ¢æ30,000-35,000 each.
Earlier this month, Casale Monferrato turned down Schmidheiny's out-of-court settlement offer of ¢æ18.3 million.
Carcinogen
Exposure to asbestos causes mesothelioma, a rare and lethal cancer that occurs in the lining of the lung known as the pleura. In 1984-1988 the Swiss Cancer Register recorded 342 cases; 20 years later the figure had more than doubled to 846 cases in the period 2004-2008.
The Swiss occupational health insurer, Suva, estimates that between 1939, when asbestosis was first listed as an occupational illness, and the beginning of 2030, there will be 4,500 deaths in Switzerland from the mineral.
Yet for many victims and their families, bringing proceedings against companies or their former owners seems a lost cause. It can take 40 years for the disease to develop.
In 2008 the Swiss Federal Court threw out three charges of manslaughter, murder and bodily harm brought by relatives of a victim against, among others, the former owners of Eternit AG Thomas and Stephan Schmidheiny. The country¡¯s supreme court argued that the statute of limitations of ten years had passed.
