(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 29 - Naples prosecutors have reportedly
opened a criminal probe into the failure to take action in
relation to an alarm sounded by the former mayor of
Casamicciola, the town on the island of Ischia hit by a deadly
landslide on Saturday, four days before the disaster struck.
Former mayor Giuseppe Conte, an engineer by profession, sent a
registered PEC email to authorities including the prefect of
Naples, the Campania civil protection department and Naples
Mayor Gaetano, warning of the danger Casamicciola faced given
the forecast of torrential rain and calling for evacuations.
