Padua. On the day of the terrible accident at work, the Gela worker David Di Natale was also there in the Acciaierie Venete plant in Padua. He managed to save himself, but suffered deep wounds and burns. The judge of the Padua court, in recent weeks, issued the decision, with four convictions and two acquittals, as well as a series of sanctions imposed on the companies involved. A ladle suddenly gave way and released a flow of molten steel. The worst consequences were for two workers, Sergiu Todita and Marian Bratu, who later died due to burns that left them with no escape. Alessandro Banzato, president of Acciaierie Venete, was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months. Same punishment for the director Giorgio Zuccaro. Vito Nicola Plasmati, managing director of Hayama Teac Service, a company in charge of maintaining the systems, was sentenced to 6 months and 15 days (suspended sentence) while Giancarlo Tonoli, former councilor with responsibility for carrying out tests for Danieli Centro Cranes, was was sentenced to 4 years and 6 months plus a ban from public office for five years. However, Giacomo Mareschi Danieli, CEO of Danieli & C., and Nicola Santangelo, former president of the board of directors of Danieli Centro Cranes, were acquitted of not having committed the crime.
