Can someone fill me in on what the charges were actually for? I can’t find any specific info, even on Wikipedia. Just says they were charged with negligent homicide, but I don’t understand what it is that they did (or didn’t do). The main dude was already in jail since 2013 for a similar disaster, so I don’t see how he could be held responsible for maintenance of the bridge in 2018 🤷
Italy also prosecuted scientists for not predicting and warning about an earthquake, and then there’s the Amanda Knox case, so I’m automatically sceptical of anything the Italian courts do or say.
translate this article
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crollo_del_viadotto_Polcevera
basically it was no maintenance in the previous years
from another article
“Everyone is charged, to varying degrees, with simple homicide, vehicular homicide, and culpable collapse.”
I don’t know which main guy you mean, Castellucci was not in jail before the fact
