"It is premature" to be able to say anything about the "dynamics of the collapse" that occurred on the construction site of the Esselunga supermarket in via Mariti in Florence and in which five workers died.
But after an initial inspection carried out by investigators and investigators, "the very empirical data we obtained was that there were several critical issues".
This is what the Florence prosecutor Filippo Spiezia said in the meeting with journalists, without however explaining what these critical issues were and confirming that foreigners who were found to be "irregular regarding their position on the territory" were also working on the construction site.
The investigations on this front, the prosecutor underlined, "were limited to a finding of correspondence between the position of these people and compliance with the rules on entry into the national territory".
As for the identification of the workers extracted from the rubble, Spiezia stated that "the problem is to match the names to the bodies" since the victims "were overwhelmed by structures imposing in weight and concrete".
A "complex identification activity on what remains of these poor workers has therefore begun, with the help of experts, which requires specific skills, including genetic ones".
