Mottarone cable car, yes to evidentiary incident on cabin

The investigating judge of the Court of Verbania Elena Ceriotti accepted the request for an evidentiary incident made by the defender of the head of the Mottarone cable car service, Gabriele Tadini, currently under house arrest for the accident in which 14 people died on Sunday 23 May. The request “is aimed at appraising the causes of the precipitation of the Mottarone cable car”. The judge appointed the engineer Antonio De Luca of the Federico II University of Naples as an expert, reserving the appointment of other experts, and summoned the parties to court in Verbania for the appointment on July 8. evidence on the remains of the cabin that crashed on the Mottarone, in particular on the hauling rope and on the emergency braking system, does not compromise the investigations, as claimed by the prosecutor. This is what is read, in a nutshell, in the provision with which the investigating judge granted the probative incident requested by the defense of Tadini, the lawyer Marcello Perillo, noting the legal conditions for acceptance. In the seven-page device, the judge underlines how the prosecutor’s claim to wait because all the possible suspects have not yet been identified cannot be accepted since “it lacks the necessary immediate connection between the object of the probative incident and the prejudice for the investigative acts and that the cause of the prejudice, with respect to which there is a burden of allegation by the prosecutor, among other things, would again materialize in the purpose of identifying all the subjects to be investigated, interested in participating in the investigations, which coincides, with a reason of expediency not taken into consideration by the legislator “.
