Ferrara. Solvay, Legambiente Calls the call-back investigation
The first time was just a "threat", an attempt to shake up the investigation. Now the call-back request to the prosecutor of Bologna is reality. It is the last card in order of time Legambiente wants to play to ensure that the case does not fall on deaf ears Solvay.
After seven years from the first exposed to the public prosecutor in cases of suspicious deaths for CMV, Legambiente decided that you can no longer wait and submitted to the Attorney General a request to call back to Bologna for the case involving the chemical corporation. "It 's been a very painful decision - said the President of Legambiente Ferrara Marco Marchi - on which he also weighed in Marghera what happened, but, it is appropriate to say, desperate times for desperate measures, it can serve this latest act of solicitation, so be it. "
On inquiry, he sees open a file in the prosecution in the event of a breach of Article. 437 (deficiencies in hygiene and safety which lead to accidents and occupational diseases), hangs unforgiving blade of the prescription.
"In mid 2010, if there is a change of procedure - says David Zanforlin, counsel assisting the Legambiente several former employees Solvay - of dozens of people death of tumor are discussed. The step Advocate (technically, the replacement of investigations by a superior body, in this case, the prosecutor in Bologna, ed) was necessary because there has not yet moved practically nothing. "
Now, if the call-back request is successful (there are 30 days) there are two possibilities, "or storing or opening the proceedings - Zanforlin continues - but at least something will move." The hope of former employees and family members who have lodged complaints against the company until 1998 that turned the gas into the petrochemical VCM (vinyl chloride monomer, highly carcinogenic) PVC is to get to trial. "From here - added the lawyer - in the case of a conviction at first instance, it would be possible to take action to obtain compensation for the damage."
Legambiente A push to press the accelerator was also the death last week, Gilberto Pio, a former employee of Solvay whose disease no one knew. This, according to the Legal Environment League, opens a series of questions on the work of occupational medicine.
"I was stunned - to allow the lawyer - in knowing that his case was followed by medicine labor and that the name of Pius not be on the cards in hand to the prosecution. Or there was official act or omission in the man really was not followed and then they have failed in their duty to monitor every six months, all former employees. "
Meanwhile in recent days and Filcem City (the chemical symbol of the CGIL) have announced their intention to bring a civil case in your coming to trial. "Finally - Marc exclaims marks - it is time to urge that steps like this: Better late than never ...."
