11 January 2019 The first instance sentence is scheduled for today on the massacre of the bus which, on 28 July 2013, crashed from the "Acqualonga" viaduct of the A16 Naples-Canosa, between Nola and Avellino, where 40 returning people lost their lives from a religious outing.
On trial, accused in various ways of complicity in multiple manslaughter, negligent disaster and omissions in management and control, the owner of the company that managed the bus, the two employees of the Motorizzazione Civile of Naples (the latter accused of forgery in public deed for attempting to falsify the document of the revision of the coach), and 12 between directors and employees of Autostrade per l'Italia, including the managing director Giovanni Castellucci and the general manager Riccardo Mollo. Tourist bus, following a failure of the braking system, broke through the bridge-edge barriers of the motorway viaduct, ending up down the escarpment after a 30-meter flight.
According to a technical report, which accuses the leaders of Autostrade per l'Italia, the state of deterioration of the log bolts is the main physical cause of the fact that the barrier was unable to contain the bus.
There would be no inspection or maintenance, despite the foreseeable high risk.
For Autostrade, on the other hand, the log bolts were not the cause of the tragedy.
