The Chamber has given final approval to the bill on the introduction of the crime of nautical homicide and the crime of nautical personal injury. The bill, a parliamentary initiative, borrows the existing regulations for the same cases concerning road traffic. The new criminal case of nautical manslaughter punishes with imprisonment from 2 to 7 years anyone who, while driving a recreational craft, culpably causes the death of a person having acted in violation of the rules on the regulation of maritime or inland navigation. In addition to the basic case, there are some aggravating factors (the same as for road homicide) for having committed the act: in a state of intoxication exceeding 1.5 g/l or under the influence of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances (imprisonment of 8 to 12 years); in a state of intoxication between 0.8 g/l and 1.5 g/l if the driver of the vessel is engaged in transporting goods or persons (imprisonment of 8 to 12 years); in a state of intoxication between 0.8 g/l and 1.5 g/l (imprisonment from 5 to 10 years); without possessing a license, that is if it has been suspended or revoked (in cases where this is required), or with a recreational craft owned by the offender without compulsory insurance. On the other hand, the penalty is decreased by up to half if the event is not the exclusive consequence of the perpetrator's action or omission. In the event that the event results in the death of more than one person, or the death of one or more persons and injury to one or more persons, the punishment that should be imposed for the most serious of the violations increased by up to three times, but in any case not to exceed 18 years of imprisonment, shall be applied.
