09 November 2019 It is Giovanni Vincenti, the owner of the exploded farmhouse in Quargnento, the man arrested last night by the carabinieri for the death of the three firefighters.

This was announced by the prosecutor Enrico Cieri at a press conference.



There is an attempted insurance fraud behind the Quargnento tragedy for which the carabinieri arrested Giovanni Vincenti last night, the owner of the exploded farmhouse in which three firefighters died.

This was announced by the prosecutor of Alessandria Enrico Cieri during a press conference.

The arrested man confessed, but denied the intention of wanting to kill.



Giovanni Vincenti's wife is under investigation on the loose in the investigation that led to her husband's arrest.

This was announced by the prosecutor of Alessandria, Enrico Cieri, at a press conference. 



Giovanni Vincenti and his wife were "heavily in debt".

Cieri always says so.

"Last August - reveals the magistrate - the building's insurance was extended to the malicious act. The maximum premium was one and a half million euros".



The timer setting error

"The timer was set at 1.30 but accidentally there was also a setting at midnight. This led to the first modest explosion which, alas, alerted the fire brigade."

The prosecutor of Alessandria thus reconstructs the explosion of the Quargnento farmhouse in which three firefighters died in the night between 4 and 5 November.

The explosion was supposed to be only one but the error in programming the timer, connected to the gas cylinders, caused the tragedy.



The owner could have avoided the massacre

Giovanni Vincenti could have avoided the tragedy.

The prosecutor of Alexandria explains this.

"The night of the tragedy, Vincenti was informed by a carabiniere that the first fire was almost extinguished - explains the magistrate -. Vincenti did not say that inside the house there were five other cylinders that continued to release gas. It was around. at 1, there would be half an hour to avoid the tragedy ".



Involved the son?

"No comment": the provincial commander of the carabinieri of Alessandria, Colonel Michele Angelo Lorusso, thus replied to the journalists who asked him whether Stefano Vincenti was also involved in the explosion of Quargnento, in which three firefighters died, son of John, the man stopped last night.

"The investigations continue", confirmed the prosecutor of Alessandria, Enrico Cieri.
