The interrogations of the three arrested last Wednesday for the Mottarone cable car accident which last Sunday caused 14 deaths, including two children, and one seriously injured, the little 5-year-old Eitan, still hospitalized, have just begun in the Verbania prison. The first to be listened to is the head of service of the Gabriele Tadini plant, defended by the lawyer Marcello Perillo, who already made his first admissions on Tuesday evening, explaining that he had decided to place and keep the forks on the jaws that deactivated the brake system. emergency, which was not triggered when the traction cable broke. And it did so, as almost “habitually” in the last month, to avoid blockages of the gondola lift due to brake anomalies. So, however, when the rope broke, car number 3 did not remain hooked to the carrying cable and flew away.
The defense asks for house arrest for Tadini
Tadini should confirm this version and the defense will ask that he be placed at least under house arrest. For the prosecutor Olimpia Bossi and the prosecutor Laura Carrara (present at the interrogations), who asked for the validation of the arrest and custody in prison for all, the choice of Tadini, as he himself clarified, would have been endorsed for economic reasons by the manager Luigi Nerini (lawyer Pasquale Pantano) and by the operating director Enrico Perocchi (lawyer Andrea Da Prato), who will be questioned immediately afterwards. The two may deny having heard of the use of forks. Then, the investigating judge Donatella Banci Buonamici will have to decide on the validation and on any precautionary measure. For the Public Prosecutor’s Office, there are all the precautionary requirements: danger of escape, repetition of the crime and evidential pollution. Outside the prison, meanwhile, a person demonstrates with a sign that says “if guilty, life imprisonment”.
