The two cars had collided head-on. Gjuzi Luljeta, driver of the other car involved, escaped with injuries for a dozen or so prognosis. Bettoni had ended up in court for those injuries and for an expert opinion that attributed contributory negligence in the accident to him. The acquittal was obtained yesterday, while the civil case with which the 58-year-old is trying to obtain adequate compensation continues.
