Schettino's actions during the Costa Concordia disaster resulted in a 16-year prison sentence for manslaughter.

. It details a very angry De Falco repeatedly ordering Schettino to leave the lifeboat and return to the stricken Costa Concordia. De Falco did not believe Schettino's explanation of how he "fell" into the lifeboat, or his excuse for not returning to his vessel because it was "too dark" and the lifeboat had "stopped moving". De Falco also proclaimed to Schettino, "You've abandoned ship! I’m in charge now,"[22] At one point, De Falco was so angered at Schettino's excuses that he told Schettino, "Vada a bordo, cazzo!" (literally "****ing get on board!" but also translated as "Get the **** on board!", "Get on board, for ****'s sake!", or "Get on board, dammit!"), but Schettino did not do so and was one of the first to reach land.[23]

Although Costa's lawyer called the verdict "balanced",[48] others criticized it. Survivors' groups saw it as too lenient.[49][50] On the other hand, it was also argued that Schettino, while guilty, had been made a scapegoat.[50] According to this view, the disaster was a complex failure, involving not only negligence on part of the captain, but also inadequate safety procedures, poor evacuation procedures, communication failures, and technical defects (such as faulty watertight doors).[50] On 31 May 2016, an Italian appeals court upheld Schettino's prison sentence.[15] Schettino further appealed to Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation,[51] which upheld the original sentence on 12 May 2017. On hearing the verdict of the second appeal, he turned himself in to Rome's Rebibbia prison to begin his sentence
