Six managers of Parma-based oil
and gas infrastructure company Bonatti risk trial over the July
2015 kidnapping in Libya of four workers that ended with two of
them, Salvatore Failla and Fausto Piano, being killed in March
2016. Prosecutors said after winding up their probe Wednesday
that the kidnapping could have been averted if "adequate"
security measures had been adopted by the firm. They six have
been charged with culpable cooperation in a crime. In October it
was learned that the six Bonatti managers were under
investigation in relation to the killing last March of Failla
and Piano. Among the six is Dennis Morson, Bonatti's logistics
chief for Libya, who has been probed for suspected culpable
homicide and breaching regulations on safe working conditions.
Failla and Piano were killed on March 2, apparently in a
firefight between the kidnappers and militia loyal to the
Tripoli national unity government, although the circumstances
are still not entirely clear. They were taken captive along with
two other Italian hostages, Filippo Calcagno and Gino
Pollicardo, in July 2015.
