Families say State to help with Eternit

(ANSA) - Rome, November 25 - Premier Matteo Renzi promised the State will be a civil plaintiff if another case is brought against Eternit, families of asbestos poisoning victims said Tuesday after meeting Renzi. Families were outraged when the supreme court last week dismissed a prison term against the company's ex-owner as the case had timed out. Turin prosecutors say they may open another case in relation to 263 asbestos deaths among Eternit workers and their families.
