The prosecutor of the Republic of Verbania, Olimpia Bossi, with the substitute Laura Carrera are currently completing the request for validation of the arrest of the three suspects for the disaster of the Mottarone cable car, the manager, the director and the head of the plant, cost the lives of 14 people.

The request must be filed within 48 hours of the detention, which expire today night.

From the investigators' findings, the brake would have been tampered with to avoid disruption. 



It is not yet certain when the validation hearing will be held in front of the magistrate, with the interrogation of those arrested, but most likely it will be set for tomorrow afternoon: at that time it will be understood what conduct, at least in the initial phase of the procedure will decide to keep the suspects - Luigi Nerini, owner of the management company, the director of the business Enrico Perocchio and the head of service Gabriele Tadini - who are currently in prison in Verbania. Director Perocchio denies having authorized the fork, and even having any knowledge of such a practice, explains his lawyer. An assignment to the engineers of the Polytechnic of Turin for a maxi consultancy is coming.



Speaking of the hypothesis of new suspects, prosecutor Bossi speaking to reporters yesterday afternoon said that "there is currently no answer to this question", although he confirmed his intention to investigate the positions of various subjects involved in various capacities. .
