Collapse of Torre Piloti, former captain of the Angrisano Captaincy sentenced to 3 years

To cause the collapse of the Pilot tower of Genoa, under which the May 7, 2013 they died 9 people, it wasn’t just the collision with the cargo Jolly nero. That structure was deemed dangerous and should not have been there, the Genoa court judge ruled. Paolo Lepri condemning 3 years the admiral was sent to prison without parole Felicio Angrisano, former commander of the Genoa Port Authority and former general commander of the Capitanerie.

The engineer Paolo was also found guilty and sentenced to one to two years in prison. Grimaldi, structural engineer Angelo Beachers, the former commissioner of the regional port commission Fabio Hunter, the former section president of the Public Works Council Ugo Tomasicchio, the structural engineer Mario How and Giovanni Lettich from the Pilots Corporation. Instead, the former Cap Edoardo official was acquitted Praino, the officer of the Port Authority Paolo Heel, Sergio Morini of the pilots’ guild, Gregorio Gavarone and roberto Matzedda of the assembled tugs.

The construction process was born thanks to the tenacity of Adele Chiello, the mother of Giuseppe Tusa, one of the victims. The prosecutor had initially requested thefile but the woman objected and the investigating judge had ordered the prosecutor Walter Cotugno new research. The deputy prosecutor had requested 11 convictions is a’absolution, highlighting the preeminent role of Angrisano, who immediately after the collapse was promoted to head of the general command of the Port Authorities.

For the admiral they had been asked 5 years of confinement because I had one “Double responsibility”, as a port commander and as an employer: “I had to be able to verify the risk And face it, whatever the cost – were Cotugno’s words – of course maybe if I had let those boys in the tower down it would have meant giving unconscious sleeve ai predecessors and perhaps by doing this you will not become a general commander ”.
