Prosecutors in the Puglia city
of Trani on Thursday ordered a search of the homes of 100 farm
laborers as part of an ongoing manslaughter inquiry into the
death on the job of 49-year-old agricultural worker Paola
Clemente.
She died of heat stroke on July 13 while picking grapes
near the town of Andria for 27 euros a day.
Police seized diaries and personal notes from 100 of
Clemente's colleagues, saying there were discrepancies between
days worked and wages paid.
Prosecutors have so far named three suspects in the
investigation into possible manslaughter and failure to provide
assistance.
They are transport company foreman Ciro Grassi, driver
Salvatore Filippo Zurlo, who drove the bus that took Clemente
from her home town of San Giorgio Ionico in Taranto province to
Andria, and Luigi Terrone, a manager at the Ortofrutto
Meridionale company for whom she was working.
