TURIN – the Supreme Court upheld the appeal bis convictions against six defendants for the fire at Thyssen in which, in December 2007, seven workers died. The highest penalty is 9 years and 8 months imposed Harald Espenhahn the ad, the lowest, to 6 years and 3 months for Marco Pucci managers and Gerald Priegnitz. also condemned other Daniele Moroni executives to 7 years and 6 months, Raffaele Salerno 7 years and 2 months and Cosimo Cafueri to 6 years and 8 months. E ‘was thus confirmed the verdict of the Court of Assizes of Appeal of Turin on 29 May 2015. The mothers, sisters and wives of the seven workers who died because of the plant stake thus have welcomed the ruling: “It is a victory , a victory for us and for all the victims who died at work. Today, listening to the requests of pg have wept with rage. Now – they say all along – we can go from our boys to the cemetery and say that finally there was justice and there are severe penalties, even if our pain is forever. “
The Attorney General of Cassation, Paola Filippi, had in fact sought the annulment of the sentences. According Filippi would serve a third appeal process for the fire occurred on the night between 5 and 6 December 2007, which killed seven workers of the factory in Corso Regina Margherita. The request of the Pg substitute had been accepted among the screams of the victims’ relatives, just out of the classroom where he was conducting the hearing of the Supreme Court who had to decide whether to confirm or not the sentences defined on appeal on May 29 last year.
The ruling last May had arrived after the intervention of the Supreme Court. The judges of the Supreme Court, after the first conviction on appeal, had sent in Turin acts and asked to restructure the penalties for criminal offenses. Hence the decision of the Court with the sentence against the former to Thyssenkrupp, Herald Espenhahn, to nine years and eight months against the ten years of the first process of the second degree, next to the convictions of the other five executives and managers of the German group (sentenced to six years and 10 months for former Gerald Priegnitz executives and Marco Pucci – seven years on appeal – 7 and a half years against Daniele Moroni, then head of Terni and investment for the Group, in the first appeal sentenced to nine years, seven years and two months instead of 8:30, for Raffaele Salerno, director of the plant in 2007, 6 years and 8 months instead of 8 to the then head of security, Cosimo Cafueri).
Against this judgment the lawyers of the accused have again resorted to the Supreme Court and hence the audience today. “The demands of the prosecution are for us all a bolt from the blue, and the same applies to the risk that the two German defendants, mainly responsible for the fire at Thyssen, may serve in Germany half a sentence,” stressed Antonio Boccuzzi, l ‘sole survivor of the fire of 2007 and now the Democratic Party deputy.
In the two degrees of process celebrated in Turin, the investigators have reconstructed in detail the minutes of the incident, the sequence of events that caused the flames and then the “flash fire”, the cloud of heat generated from the oil particles in the air after the outbreak of a flexible. A wave of fire that left no escape for Giuseppe Demasi, Angelo Laurino, Roberto Scola, Rodino Rosario, Rocco Marzo, Bruno Santino and Antonio Schiavone. At the center of the investigation before, and judgments, then, there have been serious shortcomings in terms of safety at the plant in Turin, the steel pole that Group had decided to close from there a few months.
