Benzene and cyanide in the sea of Porto Torres: no pay
The former executives of Syndial, Ineos and Sasol come out unscathed from the process for the prescription of crimes of poisoning and environmental disaster manslaughter
SASSARI. For the poisons discharged into the sea from some of the former petrochemical plant at Porto Torres, until 2006, through the sewer plant, will not pay anyone. The preliminary hearing judge of the court of Sassari Carla Altieri said acquitted the defendants was time-barred.
Then come out unscathed from the process Gianfranco Righi (then legal representative Syndial), Guido Safran (legal representative Sasol), Diego and Francesco Maria Apeddu Carmello (legal representative and director of Ineos plant).
The former executives were accused of poisoning the petrochemical manslaughter in the sea of La Marinella (the mirror in front of the Porto Torres), environmental disaster and culpable violation of the rules establishing such substances may be disposed of by industrial discharges.
In the sea - was found - were finished for years fluxes of cadmium, mercury, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls lethal), and even benzene, copper, zinc, cyanides. Substances that have poisoned the fish and flora of the dock.
The investigation of the Prosecutor of Sassari was a blitz game in 2003 after the independence of the exponents of Irs, led by the leader Gavino Sale in Hill Minciaredda, dubbed "the hill of poisons."
They were then were the conditions that led to some waste streams in the petrochemical waste into the sewer system, to be the first to assume charge of the investigation, Michael Incani, that the masters of the chemical in Porto Torres had deliberately poisoned water and fish, and therefore had challenged their malicious crimes, by the Court of Assizes.
But here the process - it was July 2012 - had run aground in front of a procedural defect, the cards were returned to the Prosecutor and the new owner of the file, the prosecutor Paolo Piras, had changed his legal approach. And the four defendants accused of culpable offenses: a maximum penalty of difference, of course, in case of conviction, of nearly 15 years. The new process was likely, given the timing of justice, never come to court. And so it was.
