Former CEO jailed over 2018 bridge collapse in Italy

In 2026, Giovanni Castellucci, former CEO of Atlantia and Autostrade per l'Italia, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for his role in the 2018 Morandi bridge collapse in Genoa, Italy, which killed 43 people. He was among 32 individuals convicted in the case, while 25 others were acquitted or dismissed due to statute of limitations. Castellucci faces additional charges from a 2013 fatal accident, and his legal team claims he was unfairly targeted. The trial highlighted systemic issues in Italian judicial processes and corporate accountability. Victims' families expressed satisfaction with the convictions but emphasized the need for continued pursuit of justice.
