La Procura federale del Brasile ha intentato una causa contro la filiale brasiliana di Shell, chiedendo un risarcimento di oltre 541 milioni di reais (cicra 97 milioni di euro) per i danni causati dalle inondazioni che colpirono lo stato meridionale di Rio Grande do Sul tra aprile e maggio 2024.

L'azione legale mira ad attribuire alla compagnia petrolifera una parziale responsabilità ambientale e climatica per le perdite causate dall'evento meteorologico estremo, basandosi sul contributo storico della multinazionale britannica alle emissioni globali di gas serra.

Secondo il documento giudiziario ottenuto dall'agenzia Afp, gli inquirenti stimano che Shell sia responsabile di circa il 2% delle emissioni globali. Sulla base di tale quota, l'accusa sostiene che l'azienda debba essere ritenuta proporzionalmente responsabile di una parte dei danni legati alle inondazioni. È la prima volta che una procura nazionale cita in giudizio una grande compagnia petrolifera per una catastrofe climatica.

Le piogge abbattutesi sul sud del Brasile nel 2024 causarono la morte di 183 persone, lo sfollamento di circa mezzo milione di individui e ingenti danni materiali.

Abuse of a 15 year old on Halloween, the Prosecutor's Office against acquittal

The Turin Juvenile Prosecutor's Office asked the Court of Appeal to overturn the acquittal of two boys aged 14 and 15 accused of having subjected a peer with intellectual and mental disabilities to over twelve hours of violence, including sexual abuse, forced shaving, burning with a cigarette and being forced to enter the Dora river, during the night between 31 October and 1 November 2025. The complaint came from the victim and her mother, who he had also recounted the incident on social media. Prosecutors argue that the necessary consensus to qualify the acts as 'jokes' was lacking, highlighting the asymmetry of understanding between the participants.

The Sion Prosecutor's Office opens an investigation into a leak of information on Crans-Montana

The Sion prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into alleged leaks in the investigation into the New Year's Eve massacre in Crans-Montana, which caused 41 deaths and 115 injuries. Civil party lawyers and journalists ended up in the crosshairs, accused of having disseminated secret documents. Some defenses hypothesize asking for a reduction of the sentence for the accused, citing the intense media exposure and the popular hatred generated, referring to article 47 of the Swiss penal code. The new file, against unknown persons, is entrusted to the prosecutor Laurent Mosching, delegated by the deputy attorney general Catherine Seppey, and includes complaints from the lawyers of the suspects and the Organization cantonale valaisanne des secours for the disclosure of the audio of the emergency medical calls. The lawyers sent press releases to the prosecutor's office calling for urgent measures to stop the leaks and identify the perpetrators, arguing that the publication of interrogations and key documents could influence judicial authorities and witnesses. Despite the measures already adopted, such as the secure electronic transfer of materials and checks during hearings in the armored room of the Sion Polytechnic, a lawyer was forced by the police to delete a photo taken during the hearing. Prosecutor Mosching was provided with investigative tools such as postal tracking data and metadata from electronic file transfers. Civil parties and journalists are at the center of attention, with possible charges for violation of the Swiss criminal code over the publication of secret official hearings.
