For the collapse of the bridge in Genoa, the penalties imposed on those responsible

In August 2018, a section of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa collapsed, killing 43 people. The court in Genoa has sentenced former executive director of Autostrade per l'Italia (ASPI), Giovanni Castellucci, to 12 years in prison for negligence and manslaughter due to the bridge's poor maintenance. Investigations revealed that no minimal maintenance work had been carried out on the bridge over its 51-year lifespan. Castellucci was already serving a six-year sentence for another fatal accident in southern Italy in 2013. The court also convicted 32 other individuals involved in the neglect of the bridge's maintenance, including Michele Mitelli, who received an 11-year sentence, and Paolo Berti, who got five and a half years. Prosecutors had requested a total of over 400 years in prison for all 57 defendants. All accused denied any wrongdoing.
