14 November 2008
The two crew members of the Hebei Spirit detained in South Korea could face jail following their current retrial for marine pollution and other offences following a large oil spillage from their vessel. The two Indian officers, Jasprit Chawla and Syam Chetan, were acquitted by a court in the original trial earlier this year, and were refused leave to return to their home pending the retrial.The prosecutors have called for three-year jail sentences as well as fines. A high court judge will give the final verdicts in a few weeks time.
