Scontro treni Andria-Corato, Cassazione conferma le due condanne: assolta Ferrotramviaria

Quick Look

La Corte di Cassazione ha confermato le condanne a 6 anni e 3 mesi per Vito Piccarreta e a 6 anni e 9 mesi per Nicola Lorizzo, ritenendo inammissibili i ricorsi delle parti civili e assolvendo definitivamente Ferrotramviaria e i suoi due manager per la strage del 12 luglio 2016 sulla linea Andria-Corato, in cui morirono 23 persone e 51 rimasero ferite.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Il 12 luglio 2016, due treni regionali si scontrarono frontalmente sulla linea a binario unico Andria-Corato in Puglia, causando la morte di 23 persone e il ferimento di altre 51. L'incidente fu attribuito inizialmente a un errore umano nella gestione del traffico ferroviario.

Confermate in cassazione le condanne dei due ferrovieri e le assoluzioni di Ferrotramviaria e dei due suoi manager per la strage ferroviaria del 12 luglio 2016 in cui persero la vita 23 persone e altre 51 rimasero ferite sulla tratta a binario unico Andria-Corato.

Ricorso inammissibile

La Corte ha ritenuto inammissibile il ricorso del pg che aveva chiesto di annullare la sentenza di assoluzione per Ferrotramviaria, per l'allora dg della società Massimo Nitti, e per il direttore di esercizio Michele Ronchi. Confermate le condanne a 6 anni e 3 mesi per il capostazione di Andria, Vito Piccarreta, e a 6 anni e 9 mesi per il capotreno Nicola Lorizzo.

Si attendono le motivazioni

Rigettando il ricorso di Lorizzo e giudicando inammissibile quello di Piccarreta, le tre assoluzioni e le due condanne sono diventate definitive. Dopo la sentenza d'appello erano già diventate definitive le altre 14 assoluzioni. In attesa delle motivazioni della sentenza, è chiaro che la Suprema Corte ha condiviso le motivazioni dei giudici di secondo grado che hanno stabilito che l'incidente fu provocato per un "errore umano".
