Case against Swedes accused of disturbing Estonia wreck to be tried again
Published on: Tuesday 15 February 2022
A Swedish appeal court ordered on Tuesday that a district court try again a case against two film makers accused of disturbing the ferry Estonia that sank in the Baltic sea in 1994 with the loss of 852 lives. The lower court in 2021 dismissed charges of disturbing a marine grave against the two Swedes, saying the law that protects the site did not apply to foreign-registered vessels in international waters. The film team had in 2019 lowered a remotely operated vehicle to the Estonia from a German-flagged ship, filming the outside of the wreck.
