There are no culprits for the victims of the flood that hit Olbia on November 18, 2013. Today, at the court of Tempio Pausania, the gup Marco Contu acquitted - with an abbreviated procedure, the former councilor for Public Works of the Municipality of Olbia, Davide Bacciu, the engineer Claudio Vinci and the surveyor Francesco Pisanu, for not having committed the done.
For the other seven defendants who had chosen the ordinary rite, including the former deputy mayor Carlo Careddu, the GUP issued a sentence of no place to proceed, rejecting the requests for indictment for multiple manslaughter and culpable disaster formulated by the prosecutor Ilaria Corbelli. In addition to Careddu, the head of the technical department Costantino Azzena, Mauro Scanu, Paolo Meloni, Sergio Usai and Michele Territo will not go to trial.
Those who lost their lives were Francesco Mazzoccu and his son Enrico, Patrizia Corona and their daughter Morgana Giagoni, Maria Massa and Anna Ragnedda.
The sentence then clears Bacciu, Vinci and Pisanu. For the latter it was the same prosecutor who asked for an acquittal. "Our client should not even have entered this long process," said Lorenzo Asara, the lawyer who, with Stefano Asara, defends Pisanu, the designer in the 1980s of the house of one of the victims, Maria Mossa, 88. Marco Salis, who defends Bacciu with his colleague Pier Ferrara, is also satisfied: "The defendants have been acquitted because there is no minimum evidence that the facts indicated in the indictment are attributable to our client and to the others".
The accusations were those of being responsible, in various ways, for the deaths caused by the flooding of the Siligheddu, Gadduresu and Rio Sa Ua Niedda canals, which overflowed following the passage of cyclone Cleopatra.
