Sixteen thousand tons of waste stored above the maximum permitted limits and without any controls on the type of materials : this is what the Carabinieri of the Cagliari ecological operations unit discovered at a metal waste treatment plant in Decimomannu.

The investigations, which led to the filing of charges against six individuals held responsible, to varying degrees, for violations of the provisions contained in their respective waste management permits and registrations, uncovered a complex system of irregularities involving the company's legal representative and several economic operators in the waste transport and disposal sector.

Further investigations revealed that five other individuals, all truck drivers and sole proprietorships based in various municipalities in the provinces of Cagliari and Oristano, had transported and disposed of non-hazardous waste of a different type than that indicated on the identification forms at the same site, in some cases failing to properly record the materials.
