“I’m not a thug. I would never have let people on if I thought the rope would break. ‘ This was stated by Gabriele Tadini, head of the Mottarone cable car, questioned this morning in the Verbania prison for about three hours by the investigating judge as reported by his defender, the lawyer Marcello Perillo. “He hasn’t eaten and slept for four days,” added the defender.
According to the lawyer, Tadini also told the judge for preliminary investigations, Donatella Banci Buonamici, who will bear the weight of this tragedy for life, “innocent people are dead”. Tadini also admitted to having put the brake block block, and to have done so on other occasions: the man explained that the anomalies manifested by the system were not connected to the rope and excluded connections between the problems with the brakes and those with the rope. In addition to Tadini in prison, there are the owner of the Ferrovie del Mottarone, Luigi Nerini, and the operating manager Enrico Perocchio. According to the magistrates, the detainees did not have a resipiscent attitude “, they did not present themselves immediately to the magistrates to assume” their responsibilities despite the fact that on Sunday morning they rushed to the site of the Mottarone cable car disaster and with their own eyes “they were able to see the bodies of the tortured victims, lying on the ground, thrown out of the cabin or stuck inside the same ».

The request
The defense of Gabriele Tadini, the head of the Mottarone cable car, asked the investigating judge, at the end of the interrogation, the extent of house arrest, not freedom. His lawyer made it clear that he did not ask the judge that a precautionary measure is not applied. To contain the precautionary needs, for the defense, house arrest is enough. But the prosecutors in recent days had talked about the danger of escape and pollution of the evidence.
