The ITF union has criticised what it calls the victimisation of Prestige captain Apostolos Mangouras in a Spanish appeal ruling on the 2002 sinking and oil spill this week.
The decision handed a victory to Spain’s government in most points of its appeal of a 2013 judgement that acquitted tanker master Mangouras, 81, of most charges.
He has now been sentenced to two years in jail, but it remains uncertain whether he will serve any time.
