The probative incident, if it were to be carried out, "would irreversibly jeopardize the carrying out of the investigation activities" aimed at identifying any co-responsible persons for the tragedy of the Mottarone cable car.

This was written by the prosecutor of Verbania, Olimpia Bossi, and the prosecutor Laura Carrera, in the deductions filed with the investigating judge Donatella Banci Buonamici.

The magistrates ask for

the inadmissibility or rejection of the request made by the defense

of the head of the cable car service Gabriele Tadini, the lawyer Marcello Perillo, on which the investigating judge should decide by today.

Meanwhile, an inspection by the technical consultant of the Verbania Public Prosecutor's Office, Professor Giorgio Chiandussi, at the site of the accident in which fourteen people died, is aimed at planning the safe removal of the crashed cabin. "An attempt will be made to remove the cabin of the cable car that fell on the slopes of Mottarone in a single block, taking it with a helicopter. If this is not possible, it could be cut in two before moving it. These are the assessments made this morning at the end of the inspection, under the hail. which was attended by a special team of the fire brigade which also includes the pilots. 'The operation involves several phases - explains captain Luca Geminale,commander of the Company of the Carabinieri of Verbania - for which a program will be drawn up by the fire brigade, which will be submitted to the Public Prosecutor ". 

The removal "is not a simple thing - continued Captain Geminale - given the position in which the cabin is located. It will first of all be made safe, in order to prevent it from moving during the aerial removal". The entire crash area will be made safer for helicopter maneuvers by cutting down other trees. "The best solution - explains the captain - is the removal of the entire cabin in one go, to preserve the integrity of the body even for investigative investigations. If this is not possible, the cabin will have to be cut in two parts before removing it ". It is not known, at the moment, the place where it will be taken: "Further downstream in a flat area - says Geminale - where it can then be loaded onto a truck for subsequent transfer.Times? Difficult to say now because it depends on the calendar drawn up by the fire brigade. "Professor Giorgio Chiandussi, the expert appointed by the Verbania Public Prosecutor's Office, also took part in the inspection on the Mottarone.
