Five executives under investigation, including CEO Migliore
The Nas carabinieri seized, with right of use, two complete wards of the Policlinico di Bari – Chini and Asclepios – because they were “infected with the legionella bacteria.” The preventive seizure decree was ordered as part of an investigation into the death of four patients, which occurred between 2018 and 2020, who died after contracting the bacteria. Five executives of the Polyclinic are being investigated in the investigation, for crimes of omission of official acts and death as a result of another crime, among them the general manager Giovanni Migliore.
The directors of the Policlinico di Bari, after the first death caused by a legionellosis infection on June 10, 2018, would not have adopted “any control and remediation measures for the elimination of the bacteria, whose presence had been verified”, already in he was, “in the water taken from the taps of the Frugoni Internal Medicine department”, in the Chini ward where the patient was admitted from May 5 to 15, 2018. This is what emerges from the investigation conducted today to the seizure with the power to use the Chini and Asclepios pavilions.
The four deaths confirmed by legionella in the two pavilions seized at the Bari Polyclinic “could be just the tip of the iceberg”, but to avoid “total paralysis of the operation of the already proven health center and in a period of health emergency such as the we are currently living “the Bari Court has ordered that the departments considered infected remain open. A choice that the investigating judge defines as “common sense” to avoid “a worse remedy than the established disease”
