Authorities that published fake
reports on viaduct safety posed serious danger to safety and
checks were not carried out to save on costs, Genoa
re-examination court judges said Tuesday after a series of
bridge collapses including one in Genoa in August 2018 that
killed 43 people.
Maintenance company SPEA ruled out checks on Genoa's Morandi
Bridge, the judges said.
They said SPEA's parent company, Autostrade per l'Italia
(ASPI), wanted to avoid costly maintenance work.
The ruling anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) wants to
strip ASPI, and its parent, the Benetton-controlled Atlantia
group, of its motorway concessions.
