11 November 2020 The Guardia di Finanza is carrying out a series of precautionary measures against former top management and some of the current managers of Autostrade per l'Italia.

According to what is learned, there are 6 precautionary measures.

The hypothesized accusations are an attack on transport safety and fraud in public supplies.



The former CEO of Autostrade per l'Italia, Giovanni Castellucci, and Michele Donferri Mitelli and Paolo Berti, respectively former maintenance manager and central operations manager of the company, ended up under house arrest.




The investigation is coordinated by the Genoa prosecutor's office and started a year ago after the financiers analyzed some of the documents acquired during the investigation into the collapse of the Morandi bridge.

In particular, according to what is learned, those relating to the problems encountered, in terms of safety, on the sound-absorbing barriers mounted on the entire motorway network.

Of the six measures ordered by the Gip of the Genoa court, three are house arrest and three are interdictory measures.



The managers would have expressed their desire not to carry out adequate replacement and safety works, evading this obligation with some unsuitable and unsuitable temporary measures.

Furthermore, the managers allegedly committed a fraud against the State, for not having adapted the network from an acoustic point of view (as required by the Agreement between Autostrade and the State) and for the safe management of the same, concealing the unsuitability and dangerousness of the barriers, without any communication - mandatory - to the supervisory body (Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport).

Given the serious circumstantial framework that emerged from the investigations, the Judge for Preliminary Investigations, at the request of the Public Prosecutor of Genoa, issued today's ordinance for the application of personal precautionary measures
