Verbania, 29 May 2021 – Gabriele Tadini, the head of the Mottarone cable car, under arrest domiciliary. While the plant operator, Luigi Nerini, and the operating manager, Enrico Perocchio, they return free and have left the Verbania prison. The decision was made by the investigating judge Donatella Bonci Buonamici, al end of a day of interrogation.
The three had been stopped in the night between Tuesday and Wednesday about the cable car accident that caused 14 deaths last Sunday. The investigating judge deems the house arrest for Tadini sufficient, while the serious evidence necessary for a precautionary measure does not exist against the other two suspects.
Tadini admitted the use of the fork. While the other two denied knowing about the emergency brake lock. Nerini in his interrogation defended himself by arguing that the safety and maintenance of the plant are not the responsibility of the entrepreneur, but of the companies to which they are entrusted, therefore to the head of service and the operating manager.
The chief prosecutor of Verbania, Olimpia Bossi, commented: “Against Nerini and Perocchio the judge found the evidence insufficient considering Tadini’s words not credible. “And the investigations continue:” We have investigations in the investigations planned and that will continue, the suspects remain the same and there is no ascertainment as to why the famous rope broke. ” the motivations of the investigating judge, will make assessments “and if anything there are means of appeal”. The magistrate explained: “We must ascertain all the responsibilities of those who contributed to causing this terrible accident and from Monday we will resume with all the technical steps that we will have to take”.
Tadini’s lawyer, Marcello Perillo: “He did not realize after a devastating day. For me professionally it is a satisfaction. The issue of the braking block is his fault and on this aspect it is indefensible. It seemed offensive to me to ask for freedom. “
