Devastating fire in the service station in viale Marconi, instigators and perpetrators arrested

Three arrests for the arson attack that on April 14, 2022 destroyed the Esso service station in Viale Marconi in Cagliari, in front of the former Videolina headquarters.

The police identified and arrested the three alleged instigators and material executors. Two other people ended up in handcuffs because they were involved in the burning of a car in Sestu on December 27th.

The five arrested, all from Cagliari, aged between 33 and 52, ended up in prison in execution of an order from the magistrate. They will have to respond to arson in competition.

The two episodes would be connected since one of the perpetrators of the attack in Sestu is the same one who allegedly set the fire at the petrol station.

In the night between 14 and 15 April 2022, the flames, devastating and starting from a stolen waste collection vehicle used as a trigger, had quickly enveloped one of the fuel delivery pumps, the till, the internal bar and a mechanical workshop.

The service station had been destroyed, with damages for half a million euros.

Only the rapid intervention of various teams of the Fire Brigade, whose barracks are not far away, had prevented the explosion of the gas depot and fuel tanks, close to other businesses and homes.
