He was at home in Gtt: he had been attending his father’s work environment for some years and everyone knew him. He often talked to the controllers and the drivers of the vehicles. But it is one thing to let him get on board to accompany the staff to ask passengers for tickets, or immortalize him at the controls of a tram stopped in storage, another is to let him drive a bus (plus a large articulated bus almost 20 meters long) free to take a ride in the city, only 18 years old and above all without even having a driving license for cars.
It happened about ten days ago: the episode emerged after the video in which Samuele, the young son of the general manager of Gtt Gabriele Bontanti, was published on social media becoming a case. The GTT driver, a woman, was suspended and the public transport company filed a complaint with the prosecutor.
“It is a particularly unfortunate situation because it concerns both the corporate reputation and, indirectly, a person with a very important role and who enjoys great esteem – explain from Gtt – The company, having become aware of the facts, promptly intervened with an investigation in-depth internal analysis to ascertain all responsibilities and through an immediate statement in the power of attorney. The company has also already taken measures in reference to the company personnel interested in the facts “.
In the video, the boy is filmed at the wheel while driving along via Botticelli in the Barriera district of Milan, with apparent dexterity. He would have traveled the great artery, until he turned and arrived at the end of the line. Now the complaint (and the images) will be examined by the investigators: the crime of “unwary reliance” could be configured.
