A “conscious and disconcerting” behavior because the three stopped would have been aware of the malfunctioning of the braking system and to “avoid continuous inefficiencies and blocks” they preferred for weeks to continue putting passengers at risk, aware that the “anomaly needed a more radical intervention, of a more consistent block “of the plant. This was stated by the prosecutor of Verbania Olimpia Bossi investigating his Mottarone disaster.

So to remedy the stop that would have resulted in the loss of money, the three would have decided to “tamper with the safety system”, that is to affix the fork to remedy the problem with the braking system. Fork which, once the towing cable of the cable car was cut, prevented the cable car from being suspended and let it fall into the void for about 20 meters.
