ITALY-SWITZERLAND-HEALTH-COURT-ASBESTOS
People walk past a mourning monument created by students for the victims of asbestos on November 21, 2014 in Casale Monferrato where remain ruins of an asbestos-cement plant Eternit. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi vowed yesterday to change Italy's "nightmare" statute of limitation rules after the conviction of a Swiss billionaire related to nearly 3,000 asbestos deaths was overturned. In a ruling greeted with fury by relatives of the victims, the Court of Cassation on Wednesday quashed the conviction and 18-year prison sentence given to tycoon Stephan Schmidheiny over inadequate safety provisions in asbestos-cement plants run by his now defunct group Eternit in Italy in the 1970s and 80s.
