The mass of snow that at 16.49 on Wednesday January 18, 2017 deleted the‘hotel at the foot of the Gran Sasso and provoked 29 deaddoes not have a cause-and-effect relationship with the shook which had L’Aquila as their epicenter, at a distance of 43 kilometers.

The Milan ruling

But what does this sentence mean? “An avalanche that falls on the defendants in the criminal trial”, the image of Romolo Reboa, a lawyer who defends several families of the victims. “It weighs like a boulder”, echoes his fellow student Gabriele Germano.

The sentence confirms the conclusions of the experts appointed by the breaking latest news prosecutor’s office. “It can therefore be concluded, with reasonable certainty, that the earthquakes did not play a role direct causal role for the release of the avalanche “, they wrote in November 2017. Three years later, however, a study signed by some professors of theUniversity of Chieti he came to affirm the opposite, with “reasonable certainty”. Thesis naturally congenial to the accused.

The lawyer Arturo Messerewho defended the then chief of staff of the prefecture, Leonardo White, prefers prudence. “We await the outcome of the report requested by the investigating judge”.
