There is a suspect in the investigation into the death of 5 workers killed from the gas released by the sewage while they were working on the Casteldaccia sewerage system. The charge of multiple manslaughter concerns Nicolò Di Salvo, the owner of the Quadrifoglio Group company. The latter had subcontracted the maintenance work from Tek Infrastrutture srl of San Cipirello, but the tragedy occurred during the execution of these works. Four of the five deceased workers were employees of Quadrifoglio, while the fifth, Giuseppe La Barbera, was a temporary worker for the former municipal company Amap, which had issued a contract for the maintenance of the sewer systems in the towns on the east coast of the province.
Nicolò Di Salvo is the only suspect
The man would have received a warning notice in the evening, a necessary act so that he can appoint a trusted medical examiner who will participate in the autopsy of the victims tomorrow. At the moment therefore Nicolò Di Salvo, who must answer for the safety measures with which he had equipped the workers, would be the only person under investigation. The entrepreneur’s partner, Epifanio Alsazia, lost his life in the accident. The investigation is coordinated by prosecutor Elvira Cuti. The autopsy, in which the consultants of the victims’ families will also be able to participate, will be carried out at the forensic medicine institute of the Palermo Polyclinic.
