(ANSA) - BARI, JANUARY 8 - The investigating judge of Lecce Cinzia Vergine archived, at the request of the Prosecutor, the investigation that alleged an alleged fraud by Tap Italia for not having subjected the gas pipeline under construction in the Salento to the Seveso directive. The archiving - decided by the investigating judge on September 25, 2019 but surfaced on January 8, 2020 - concerns Clara Risso, legal representative of Tap Italia and the head of the Ministry of Economic Development Gilberto Dialuce. It is an excerpt of the larger investigation which on January 7 led to direct indictment for 18 people - including TAP leaders - and Tap herself, for environmental crimes.
The magistrate shared the motivations of the prosecutor Valeria FarinaValaori on the "inapplicability of the Seveso law to the gas pipeline", which emerged also from a previous sentence of the State Council and from expert reports. During the evidentiary accident, the investigators of the investigating judge excluded that the gas pipeline should be subjected to the Seveso directive concerning the significant risks in large industrial plants.
