Two more criminal proceedings against the former general director of the Ospedali Riuniti di Foggia, Vitangelo Dattoli, end with archiving. The lawyer Antonio La Scala, who defended Dattoli in both cases, expressed great satisfaction with the positive outcome of the investigations. The current health director of the “Miulli” of Acquaviva delle Fonti was accused of workplace safety violations And Lserious negligent injuries. It all started with the complaint presented by the family of a patient who claimed to have suffered serious injuries due to negligence on the part of the hospital.
The outcome of the investigations
In both cases, the Foggia Public Prosecutor’s Office requested the dismissal of the proceedings, a request later confirmed by the competent investigating magistrates. Investigations showed that Dattoli was in no way responsible for the accusations made against him. In the case of workplace safety violations, the investigators, after analyzing the documentation acquired and consulting a technical expert, concluded that there was no correlation between the alleged accidents and the violations of the safety regulations attributed to Dattoli. In the case of serious negligent injuries, the investigations accurately reconstructed the facts, confirming that Dattoli’s actions had been correct. In particular, the investigators, following the analysis of the documentation acquired and specific technical consultancy, stated that “there is no harmful event related, from an etiological point of view, to the violation of precautionary accident prevention rules by the suspect ”.
La Scala: “Dattoli is totally unrelated”
The lawyer Antonio La Scala, Dattoli’s trusted lawyer, expressed great satisfaction with the dismissal of the two proceedings. He declared: “These dismissals confirm Dattoli’s total non-involvement in the accusations made against him. The investigations demonstrated his correctness and his commitment to guaranteeing the safety and efficiency of the Ospedali Riuniti di Foggia”. This is the second time that Dattoli has had criminal proceedings against him dismissed. Only a few days ago, in fact, another proceeding for abuse of office had been dropped.
