The operators of the Genoa bridge are being investigated for manslaughter
 |
Genoa - The Italian prosecution has begun investigating the management of Autostrade for manslaughter in connection with the collapse of the highway bridge in Genoa. Italian judicial sources announced this today. A section of the bridge collapsed on August 14, and 43 people lost their lives. The highest management of Autostrade, which operated the bridge, is on a list of 20 people considered suspects and being investigated for manslaughter. The company has not commented on the report yet.
The collapse of the Morandi Bridge, which was part of the A10 motorway, is being investigated by the Genoa prosecutor's office. In August, up to 200 meters of the bridge fell, along with many cars.
Autostrade's CEO Giovanni Castellucci did not apologize for the accident in August, stating that the company would wait for the conclusion of the investigation. However, Autostrade has allocated 500 million euros (almost 13 billion CZK) to assist Genoa; these funds are to be used for the construction of a new bridge.
The company Autostrade per l'Italia was privatized in 1999 and operates over 2,800 kilometers of highways in Italy.
