This is what the association of family members of the victims of the Viareggio massacre of 29 June 2009 writes 'the world I would like' in a statement that was read this morning in a conference at the Green Cross in Viareggio.
"Yesterday - say the families of the victims - it was a sad and dark day for justice. The Supreme Court would have had the opportunity to save thousands of lives among citizens and workers. Instead, we bitterly note that they have been saved, so that the current system continues. And it was enough to cancel the aggravating circumstance of the accident at work, disavowing two degrees of judgment. We understood that the managing directors pass, but the companies remain. The statute of limitations has done the rest ".
"Since yesterday - continue the families of the victims - we have better understood how much work there is still to be done in this country, kneeling to the strong powers. facts. We are waiting to understand, by reading the reasons of the Court of Cassation, why the aggravating circumstance at work has not been recognized. For us, a new path begins and we ask all people and committees to continue to support us ".
The Cassation confirms guilty
"The Supreme Court canceled a crime and years of conviction, but it still ascertained that these people are guilty. That's for sure. Then the statute of limitations cancels the years in prison, but we don't care. We wanted the responsibilities to be ascertained. And this happened ". This was stated by Marco Piagentini, reference of the association of the families of the victims of the Viareggio (Lucca) massacre The world I would like, this morning after a press conference in which the same non-profit organization publicly commented on yesterday's sentence of the Court of Cassation. "We understood compared to yesterday that" in the sentence "there are important profiles of guilt. Profiles that have been confirmed by the Supreme Court. This is very clear", Piagentini also said. "Now - he underlined - we must understand from the reasons why the Supreme Court has removed the aggravating circumstance of the accident at work ".
The family lawyer:
Moretti will have to answer for multiple manslaughter
"The engineer Mauro Moretti before the Court of Appeal of Florence will have to answer for multiple manslaughter". Tiziano Nicoletti, lawyer for the families of the victims of the Viareggio massacre of 29 June 2009 and from the association 'Il mondo cherei', said this at a press conference.
"We understood that Moretti had renounced the statute of limitations only for culpable disaster and culpable injuries. But reading the device of the Supreme Court - explained Nicoletti - we understand that engineer Moretti has renounced, unlike the other defendants, also the statute of limitations for manslaughter. So as regards the accused engineer Moretti, the court of Appeal of Florence is also being charged with multiple manslaughter, obviously not aggravated, since the aggravating circumstance of the accident at work fell ".
The mayor of Pietrasanta: I will write to Mattarella, the victims killed twice
"The massacre of Viareggio is without guilty. It is a shameful sentence. I will write to the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella to express the indignation of our entire community. This is not the justice that our country deserves". Thus in a note the mayor of Pietrasanta (Lucca), Alberto Stefano Giovannetti, comments on the decision of the Court of Cassation which prescribed the manslaughter for the railway massacre of Viareggio in 2009. "The massacre took place in Viareggio but that train passed through in many airports - continues Giovannetti -. That night of death touched many unsuspecting lives. Massacres like these cannot be liquidated without guilty; they cannot go unpunished. There are victims,there are families who continue to suffer with great dignity, demanding only what one would have expected in a normal state. Justice has shown that it has no courage. Politics has its responsibilities. Twelve years of trial is a rock. With a simple word, prescription, we killed the victims of the massacre twice ".
