“It’s stuck with Vinavil“: This is how the situation of the sound absorbing barriers installed along the motorway network is described. Talking is Lucio Ferretti Torricelli, responsible for the works of art of Spea, which addresses Michele Donferri Mitelli me Paolo Berti, both former manager from Highways for Italy finished ai house arrest in the investigation of the Genoa Prosecutor’s Office that investigates an attack on transport security and fraud in public supplies. Ferretti Torricelli points out that the resin used for anchors It is defective and totally ineffective: “He’s stuck with Vinavil,” he repeats twice. Also in the same conversation it is pointed out that the barriers Integautos do not meet “the requirements of the rule”. Donferri Mitelli, at that time a former maintenance manager, silenced him: “You talked too much“.
These conversations, as well as others contained in the order signed by the investigating judge Daniela Giuffrida who also ordered the house arrest of the former CEO of Aspi, Giovanni castellucci, it took place inoffice by Donferri Mitelli at the Aspi a headquarters Rome. They are crucial recordings, explains the judge, because from the tenor of the dialogues “the awareness, by Aspi managers, from the first months of 2017, of the defects barriers and in particular absolute disability of the same to resist the action of the wind. “In the conversations the problem” of the use of unapproved glue“, Writes the coroner.
And receive sinking happened between November 6, 2016 me January 17, 2017, on the viaducts Rio Rezza on the west road and Castagna River on the east road, on the A12 Genoa-Sestri Levante. Subsequently, the order is rebuilt, there has been a further collapse of the barriers on the highway section. A14. For this reason, Aspi’s management decided to analyze the causes of the collapse: an analysis that shows that, as Ferretti Torricelli reiterates when intercepted, the Integautos barrier is not verified for to resist all wind actions and that the resin Inghisol, in addition to lacking the expected CE marking, it is ten times less effective of the other resins normally used: “… eh already a fucking resin it is not CE certified and it holds up ten times less than another, ”says the art manager of Spea, Aspi’s subsidiary. Instead, it is Donferri who establish strategy put a patch the incorrect design of the structures that guarantee the maximum savings to the company that would otherwise have had to spend 140 million euros.
The solution found by Ferretti, according to the magistrate’s ordinance, foresaw changes in the barriers already installed, justifying this motivation with a legislative change in 2008. For Donferri, however, it is too expensive an option given the length of the motorway network: “ahahaha more than 400 km … are you stupid?”. The subject is the subject of another conversation between the two, always in the former manager’s office as of today under house arrest. “But, do you realize that you have redone the homologation… is there resin without a CE mark? You realize?! But do you realize ?! ”Ferretti says. “But you realize that Can’t that damn barrier hold the wind?“. Donferri responds:” The more you do this … the worse it is. “Ferretti insists on evaluating the solution proposed by him, but after several minutes of questioning and answering Donferri clearly says:” If I have to do 400 km it is not the solution … I know of a hundreds of millions of euros “.
In a subsequent conversation Donferri reiterates that the barriers have been “embarked” and explains that he has found another solution: “I reasoned in a business logic“. During the meeting, the ordinance is read, also enters Paolo Berti (the other former manager from today under house arrest) and together they talk about the solution found which consists, explains the investigating judge, inlower In short, the flaps, which is the upper part of the barriers, so that it is bottom surface and therefore the effect of wind. “How many skirts have been lowered – Donferri asks – and how many Municipalities have broken the c…? Only Rapallo broke the c … “And then, laughing:” We picked them up and there we are made up the maintenance criteria …“. A sentence from which it appears that only the Rapallo City Council complained about the lowering of the barriers: Aspi was justified, writes the investigating judge,” with false maintenance needs. “These interventions, according to the ordinance,” in addition to not having eliminated the danger built-in barriers, they are not even allowed to perform the function of limitation of the noise coming from highway traffic ”, thus causing“ considerable discomfort ai resident citizens close”.
