FILE - An overturned train car is seen near a village at Tekirdag province, Turkey on July 8, 2018. A court in Turkey sentenced nine rail officials to more than 108 years' imprisonment over a train crash six years ago that killed 25 people, local media reported on Thursday, April 25, 2024. A passenger train operated by Turkish State Railways, or TCDD, derailed in July 2018 as it passed through Corlu district some 110 kilometers west of Istanbul.
Photographs taken in the aftermath of the crash showed no ground support under a section of rail above the culvert. Families of the victims have campaigned for wider accountability for the crash, demanding senior managers at rail company as well as Transport Ministry officials also face charges. In a statement issued after the hearing, the victims’ families said the case would “not end unless the high-ranking officials are put on trial.”
