The now nine-year-old Israeli boy, who was the only one to survive the cable car accident on Mount Mottarone on Lake Maggiore in 2021, will receive more than three million euros in compensation. The boy’s lawyer will therefore withdraw his request for admission as a civil plaintiff in the criminal proceedings.
The compensation will be paid by the South Tyrolean cable car company Leitner and Reale Mutua, the insurance company of the operator of the cable car “Ferrovie del Mottarone” and the defendant, Italian media report.
Bub lost a large part of his family
The cable car accident on May 23, 2021, killed 14 people, including the surviving boy’s father, mother, brother and maternal great-grandparents. The child was at the center of a bitter custody battle between his father’s and mother’s sides of his family for months. The child was then entrusted to his paternal aunt.
Some agreements have already been made
The lawsuit accuses six people of the Lake Maggiore cable car accident, including three representatives of the Leitner company. In January, an agreement on compensation was reached between the Leitner company and the 76 relatives of the 14 victims of the tragedy. Neither the amounts nor the contents have been made public.
