Covid: the investigation on Conte and Speranza closed in Brescia

The court of ministers in Brescia has filed the positions of former Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and former Minister of Health Roberto Speranza investigated in the investigation of the Bergamo Public Prosecutor's Office on the management of the first phase of the pandemic in Val Seriana. This is confirmed by judicial sources.
The judges of the Court of Ministers - all civil lawyers, with the president Maria Rosa Pipponzi president of the Labor section - accepted the request for dismissal for the former premier Conte and the former minister Speranza "because the fact does not exist", espousing the line of the Brescia Public Prosecutor's Office that had raised a series of reasons and facts that have dismantled the accusatory hypothesis of the colleagues of Bergamo.
According to the judges, "the crime of culpable epidemic in omissive form is not configurable as the rule in question embraces only the conduct of those who spread pathogenic germs through intent or negligence and therefore the responsibility for failure to prevent an event that you had the legal obligation to prevent is incompatible with the legal nature of the crime of epidemic ". And also, we read in the filing measure "it must first be said that the documents completely lack proof that the 57 people indicated in the charge, who would have died for the failure to extend the red zone" to the municipalities of Alzano Lombardo and Nembro, in the Bergamo area, "are among the 4,148 excess deaths that would not have been there if the red zone had been activated".
