The gup Giovanni Paolo Piana, at the end of the preliminary hearing at the Court of Sassari, pronounced the sentence of no place to proceed against the three former Syndial executives, accused of environmental disaster and management of illegal landfill of dangerous waste, called " Phosphatic Palte”, a compromised site in the industrial area of Porto Torres.

The decision for reasons of statute of limitations of the second charge, the only one left standing, which established that with the omissive behavior of acts aimed at spreading pollution, the defendants would have committed a fact aimed at causing an environmental disaster, which resulted in a danger to public safety. Judge Piana accepted the request for non-proceedings presented by the defense lawyers: Piero Arru, Maurizio Bazzoli, civil party lawyer of Syndial, Fulvio Simoni and Riccardo Olivo. Therefore, the request made by the prosecutor, Enrica Angioni, was rejected, who insisted on the request for indictment of the former Eni-Syndial managers: Gianluca D'Aquila, Luigi Volpe and Francesco Misuraca, who allegedly built and managed in the industrial area, from 2011 to June 2015, an unauthorized landfill of hazardous special waste, phosphorus waste and dandruff slag.

The investigating judge did not even accept the request made by the civil parties, represented by the lawyers Gian Domenico Tenaglia, for the Ministry of the Environment, and by Fabrizio Bionda for the Municipality of Porto Torres.

On 30 June 2015 in the former Syndial petrochemical plant in Porto Torres, the Noe carabinieri had discovered an area of about four hectares where the phosphate paltes are stored and where there was a concentration of natural radionuclides higher than the natural background as regards the 'Uranium 238 and 235 and Thorium 232.
