The families of young Romanians who died in Italy are seeking compensation of nearly 4 million euros, accusing the authorities of delayed response.

The parents of the three young Romanians who died drowned in the middle of the Natisone River in Italy in the summer of 2024 are seeking compensation of nearly 4 million euros, citing moral and psychological damages caused by the live broadcast of the tragedy. The young people, caught by a flood, called 112 and were seen by passersby, but were not rescued in the critical 40 minutes. Italian prosecutors have charged four individuals, including firefighters and an emergency operator.
