They will only be Motorways for Italy e Spea Engineering (the subsidiary that took care of the maintenance) i civilian responsible they will have to compensate for the damage in the event of convictions in the trial on the massacre of Morandi bridge. This was decided by the judge for the preliminary hearing in Genoa, Paola Faggioni, accepting instead the request for exclusion presented by Anas and from Ministry of Infrastructure (Mims), the other two subjects who had been cited as civil liable in previous hearings. Anas and Mims justified the request with the fact that they did not participate in the two evidentiary incidents carried out during the investigation phase, during which some fundamental evidence was taken (the technical appraisals of the investigating judge who crystallized the conditions of the viaduct and the causes of the collapse).
In reality, Autostrade and Spea also claimed that they could not be called into question, because – in the thesis of their lawyers – although the two companies had participated in the evidentiary incidents, they did so. only as defendants (based on the law on administrative liability of entities) and not as potential civil liable persons, a circumstance that would have infringed their right to defense. A thesis to which not even the public prosecution was opposed at the hearing – represented by the prosecutors Massimo Terrile and Walter Cotugno – but to which the gup has chosen not to adhere: otherwise, none of the public entities work of the 59 defendants would have been called to pay damages. The hearing was postponed to next September 28, when the prosecutors’ conclusions will begin.
