Overview
- The court recognized the company managing the Hotel Amsterdam in Rouïba as civilly liable for Alex Bonucchi’s death as a legal entity.
- It ordered 8 million Algerian dinars in compensation to his parents—4 million each—along with a 200,000-dinar fine for the company (about €53,000 and €1,300, respectively).
- The reopened appellate proceeding took place in recent days in Algiers with Bonucchi’s parents present.
- Bonucchi’s mother welcomed the ruling as a partial step and said the family will seek criminal convictions of the hotel’s owners.
- The family also demands the return of organs retained in Algeria—heart and right lung—which Repubblica reports were later buried in Rouïba after about 15 months.
