The former CEO of FS Mauro Moretti was definitively sentenced by the Court of Cassation to 5 years for the 2009 Viareggio railway massacre.
The former CEO of FS Mauro Moretti, sentenced to 5 years for the Viareggio massacre (Lucca), has obtained the green light from the supervisory judge for house detention.
Moretti, who turned himself in last June 26 after the Supreme Court decision that made the sentence final, left Orvieto prison on November 3 to serve his sentence at home in Rome.
Moretti, who turned 73 on 29 October, was convicted of charges of negligent train disaster and fire for the massacre at the Viareggio station which occurred on 29 June 2009 when a freight wagon loaded with LPG derailed: 32 victims killed by the flames that broke out, over 100 injured.
The lawyers of the former FS CEO had immediately requested house arrest, considering his age, the type of crime and the fact that in his case there was no risk of escape or repetition of the crime. A few days ago the supervisory judge's decision granted Moretti house arrest after approximately four months of confinement in a cell.
“The provision that placed engineer Mauro Moretti under house arrest recognizes the health protection needs,” said the former manager's lawyer, Ambra Giovene.
"He has lost 15 kilos and is very emaciated."
«The engineer - added Giovene - was admitted to house detention on the assumption of impeccable prison behavior. The system pays due attention to the seventy-year-old in the absence of impeding causes."
