The single judge of the Court of Rieti, Giovanni Riccardo Porro, acquitted the former mayor of Accumoli, Stefano Petrucci, and the engineer Matteo Buzzi, technician in charge of the works that the Diocese of Rieti had ordered on the bell tower because the fact does not constitute a crime
Acquitted, because the fact does not exist, the other 4 defendants: the then sole manager of the project, the architect Pier Luigi Cappelloni; the administrative static tester of the works to which the tower was subjected, the architect Mara Cerroni; the designers and project managers, the engineer Alessandro Aniballi and the architect Angelo Angelucci; and the surveyor Giuseppe Renzi.
The prosecutor Lorenzo Francia in recent days had asked for a total of 42 years in prison, 6 for each of the accused. For all the accusation was of manslaughter and culpable disaster.
