The indictment, as requested by the Prosecutor's Office, concerns
the child's mother, who had climbed on the wagon with him and the engineer
who had issued the test certificate. In this case the trial will start on May 5th. While
the owner and body builder of the wagon
will be prosecuted : in this case the hearing is set for April 29th. All three defendants (assisted by lawyers Mauro Nicastro, Stefano Sermenghi and Massimo Leone) are accused of manslaughter.
On the matter there is still another file pending, born from a complaint of the child's family, in which it was asked to investigate the responsibilities of the
