Vibo Valentia, seized eight and Half km (about 5,30 miles) of the A3 Salerno-Reggio: For fraudulent disaster and fraud

During the investigation emerged hypothesis of works concession in sub contract without authorization and aggravated fraud against the public entity in relation to the undue perception of disposal of waste processing payments. In projects for the viaducts on the river Mesima lacked hydrogeological studies. With the result that four bridges today in danger of being undermined by the pylons.

After the "killer" tunnel of the Salerno-Reggio Calabria, the Guardia di Finanza of Vibo Valentia has seized another 8 and a half km of the A3 (between the junctions of Mileto and Rosarno) and a stretch of Sp 58 road. fraudulent disasters , works in sub contract without authorization from the contracting authority, aggravated fraud against the public entity in relation to the undue perception of disposal of waste processing payments, attested through false documents, false material and ideological committed in the drafting of the job accounting. These are the offenses alleged by prosecutors in Vibo investigation in which 21 people are under investigation in the company "Cavalleri Ottavio Spa of the Anas between executives and managers".

Under investigation, in fact, ended up: Gregorio Cavalleri, Vincenzo Musarra, Marco Angelo Bosio, Maurizio Aramini, Gianfranco Vasselli, Angelo Dandini, Fabrizio Tragna, Settimio Branchi, Giovanni Parlato, Paolo Francesco Campanella, Marcello Ranalli, Carla Rota, Alessandro Rossi Dino Laporini, Giovanni Fiordaliso, Consulate Cutrupi, Salvatore Bruni, Francesco Caruso, Antonio Pio Cannatà, Pietro Lo Faro and Maria Stella Orecchio. The Finance also knocked on the door of the President of the Province of Reggio, Giuseppe Raffa, to acquire documents on Cavalleri society,now in liquidation.

Viaducts at risk of collapse because built in risky areas without adequate plumbing and hydrogeological study. But also work done "on the cheap" to profit from the company that had bought up the contract. Reading the seizure emitted by the prosecutor of Vibo Valentia Mario Spagnolo and substitute prosecutor Benedetta Callea, the feeling is that the prime minister Matteo Renzi will have to consider the possibility of postponing the opening of the Salerno-Reggio Calabria set for the next 22 December.

To the investigation center, in fact, there is the realization of the viaduct built on the river bed Mesima that is likely, now, to unseat the pylons of the structure.

"The works of the experts - the judges write - made it possible to bring to light certainty to the existence of hydraulic / hydrogeological risk which invests the work in progress and that, due to the interference of Mesima river and with more with the viaducts Mesima 1, 2, 3 and 4, may determine flood phenomena, as has already happened on 23 and 24 March 2016 ". It is an area,which should be provided the samerequirements, of the areas at R4 risk (very high). The work, first entrusted to another company, was to be built ex novo when the contract was assigned to the "Cavalleri Spa".
Always write the Prosecutor consultants: "The project had to be necessarily accompanied by a specific hydraulic study, prepared in accordance with the guidelines of Pai, to be submitted to the opinion of the Authority of Basin of Calabria, overlooking the interference of the motorway route with the river Mesima.

This study didn't exist. "The risk of Mesima river flooding and, consequently, flooding of the road 58 and of all the country roads and highway construction site in the vicinity of the work - says the seizure order - is real and present and is causally attributable both the failure and inadequate forecasting in defense works of the construction site of the works in the river bed by the construction company ". To carry out the work, it has even changed the course of the river, "dangerously accident today on the riverbed" pile.

The seizure carried out today provides for the "right of use" of the A3. Despite the seriousness of the situation, in fact, it was unthinkable to close eight kilometers and a half highway and cut out made the Province of Reggio Calabria from the rest of the country. Was closed, however, the SP 58 in the province of Vibo Valentia. "We are working tirelessly. - Said the prosecutor of Vibo Spagnolo - Investigations into the events that led to the seizure of the A3 suddenly they go along. The Prosecutor's Office is investigating primarily the profiles related to security of citizens crossing the work and then on the amounts collected by this involved more firm. "
