Former Pescara prefect
Francesco Provolo was among 23 people to receive notification
they are under investigation in relation to the avalanche that
hit Abruzzo's Rigopiano Hotel in January, claiming 29 lives,
sources said Thursday.
Pescara Provincial Government President Antonio Di Marco,
Farindola Mayor Ilario Lacchetta and many public officials are
also under investigation.
Provolo was transferred to Rome a few weeks ago.
A former general in the forest rangers killed himself at the
weekend after leaving a letter saying the 29 people who died in
the avalanche "weigh me down like a millstone".
Guido Conti's family said there was "no link" between the
Rigopiano disaster and the former general's death.
