One million protective suits and 850,000 gowns to face the coronavirus emergency disappeared in the air. Or rather, of all that offer, the Lazio Region has delivered only the first 150 thousand t-shirtsi, against an advance paid to Biolife, of 2.8 million euros. The gowns – as Repubblica explains – are not even used, because they are “frozen” by the investigation initiated by the Taranto prosecutor’s office into the company that last spring maintained relations with the regional civil protection.
They had to arrive, “with extreme urgency”, already in April: one million protective suits and 850 thousand gowns to face the acute phase of the coronavirus, requested by the regional civil protection, with direct transfer to Internazionale Biolife, a company of Taranto with 10,000 euros of capital specialized in homeopathic products. A story that returns to see Nicola Zingaretti as an injured party. In fact, the Region has requested Biolife to supply coats and overalls until April 8, for which it pays a deposit of 2.8 million and waits in vain, given that the company, as previously reported, only receives one part.
“We collaborate with the prosecutor of Taranto”, they explain from the Region arguing that, unlike the Ecotech affair, this time the body “did not suffer any economic consequences: the advance of 2.8 million euros paid for the supply of gowns” has covered in full. In fact, Civil Protection has not paid for a supply of approved and compliant masks from the same company to return the advance ”. In any case, it seems that the game will have to be resolved through the courts, since it continues to be the second slip of the autonomous civil protection that, in the emergency of the Covid, has directly ceded trust in the protection devices to companies that they have not fulfilled the contracts. “Ecotech was not an isolated case, we were right – underlines Roberta angelilliBrothers of Italy – there are other pending offers for which the Region has not yet signed the revocations. It is surprising that the director of civil protection continues in his position ”.
