They surprised him at the corner of via Buzzanca and viale Regione while unloading 33 garbage bags from his truck into the Rap containers. Then the discovery: inside were the waste “produced” by Kfc, the famous American restaurant chain specializing in fried chicken that has just opened a restaurant in Palermo, between via Libertà and via Notarbartolo. A 46-year-old man (his initials CM) got into trouble after being pinched by the brigade in the Viale Michelangelo area as part of operations aimed at combating illegal transport and the abandonment of waste.
It happened on Christmas Eve (but the news was released only today by the brigade command). The vehicle was criminally impounded and the man was fined for illegal transportation of waste. In action, the Núcleo agents protect urban decoration and habitability, they intervened in civilian clothes and aboard an “owl car”. The fighters were on patrol in the via Regione area when they noticed that the 46-year-old was working. Officers identified the man and then ordered him to open the bags to verify the contents.
“It was verified – let’s say by the police command – that all the content was entirely attributable to the same commercial activity. The man also lacked authorization or registration in the national registry of environmental managers. Then he reported that he was a recipient of citizenship income and that he had simply done a favor to a person who worked in the company ”.
The truck with its load was seized and entrusted to the owner in judicial custody, who was also sanctioned “for being without any justified motivation to move despite the specific prohibition imposed by the Christmas Decree.” Later, the agents also carried out an inspection of the Kfc headquarters in Palermo and “sanctioned the manager of personnel and waste disposal, since he did not separate the waste in the separate collection area,” they added from the offices in via Dogali. .
Mayor Leoluca Orlando also spoke in this regard: “I regret that businessmen who decide to invest in the city do not pay the necessary attention due to compliance with local regulations. Even more so because of the material and image damage caused to the city and that of your company “.
The Deputy Mayor Fabio Giambrone, who holds the responsibilities of Urban Decoration and the Municipal Police, expresses “his gratitude for the control activity carried out by the brigade, always attentive to combating illegal and irregular behavior. I hope – he continues – that facts like this and the heavy sanctions that are imposed are a deterrent for those who think they can behave like in a Wild West without rules. ”
