Minya Court Downgrades Sentence of Sleeper Train Tractor Driver
The Minya Criminal Court has reduced the sentence of the train sleeper car driver involved in a collision that resulted in three deaths and injured 21 others. The sentence was reduced from 10 years in prison to one year of detention with a three-year suspension. The reasoning stated that the accident was caused by reckless speeding, combined with technical factors such as signaling system failure and poor maintenance. The court also accepted the defendant's appeal and found four other defendants innocent. The train's speed was between 84 and 85 km/h, despite the permitted limit of 60 km/h, which contributed to the accident. The court decided to exercise clemency considering the technical and criminal circumstances.
