Allianz files suit agst govt changing motorway concessions

(ANSA) - Rome, January 16 - German insurance giant Allianz, one of the shareholders of Italian motorway firm Autostrade per l'Italia (ASPI), on Thursday filed a suit with the European Commission against a unilateral modification of motorway concession contracts introduced by the Italian government with the Milleproroghe decree, which paves the way for the possible revocation of the concession.
    The government is discussing stripping ASPI's concession after the August 2018 Genoa bridge collapse that killed 43 people, allegedly due to poor maintenance.
    Transport Minister Paola De Micheli said Thursday she had filed a final report on the case but the government had yet to decide on the revocation.
