Mottarone cable car, the case of the change of judge arrives at the CSM

Open a case to the High Council of the Judiciary on the case of the replacement of the investigating judge of Verbania, Donatella Banci Buonamici, in the investigation into the tragedy at the Mottarone cable car. This is what the robed Sebastiano Ardita and Nino Di Matteo asked the presidency committee. “We learn from the press that in the course of a criminal proceeding pending at the Court of Verbania and in the context of which provisions on personal freedom were made, the judge appointed in the role of Gip would have been replaced during the proceedings with a provision of the President of the Court” , write Ardita and Di Matteo in the document sent to the top management of the CSM. “We ask that the matter be addressed immediately to the competent commission and immediately after the plenary assembly so that – explain the two togates – action is taken as quickly as possible to assess the correctness of the decision adopted and its possible impact on the principles of the judge’s preconstitution “.” I have nothing to say. I will speak in the institutional offices “, said yesterday the investigating judge of Verbania Donatella Banci Buonamici following the choice of the president of the court Luigi Montefusco to entrust the case on the cable car disaster to the ‘titular’ investigating judge, judge Elena Ce riotti, who returned to work after a four-month stop. If the investigating judge Banci Buonamici did not share the line of the prosecution and released the three suspects for the tragedy in which 14 people lost their lives, it will be the colleague Ceriotti instead having to decide on the request for an evidentiary incident made by the defense of Gabriele Tadini, the head of the cableway service who admitted to having left the fork on the crashed cabin but also claimed, during the interrogation, that the manager Luigi Nerini and the director of operation of the Enrico Perocchio plant knew of this stratagem to remedy the problem of the emergency braking system.
