“My son had told the worker to don’t come closer to the vehicle, but the worker did his own thing. A lightness, Unfortunately”. The “worker” is Satnam Singh31 years old, Indian, who died yesterday at the San Camillo hospital in Rome after a machine for spreading and rewinding nylon on greenhouses had severed an arm on the farm where he worked, in Borgo Santa Maria, a hamlet of Latin. Speaking, in an interview with Rai NewsAnd Renzo Lovato, father of the owner of the company: “The sad thing is that a boy died and unfortunately he died at work, which should never happen”. It was, the man added, “a lightness that it cost everyone dearly“.
Antonello, Renzo’s son, is under investigation by the Latina prosecutor’s office for failure to help And manslaughter. It would have been him who loaded Satnam and his wife, who works in the same company, into the van and unloaded them in front of their home, leaving the severed limb on a fruit crate. Neither in the interview questions nor in the answers of Rai News there is minimal mention of this fact.
According to initial reconstructions, no one in the company called for help for at least two hours, possibly fatal. Only after the 31-year-old had been dumped, dying, in front of the house did his family intervene and were able to call for help. The 118 paramedics entrusted him to an air ambulance and the man was urgently transported to San Camillo, where he died yesterday afternoon.
“I saw the accident – he said Sonywife of Satnam, a The Republic – I begged the owner to take him to hospital, but he had to save his farm. He put his farm first and foremost. The owner took ours telephones to prevent the conditions in which we work from becoming known. Then she put us in the van, also taking away the possibility of calling us rescued“.
Meanwhile this morning, after two days of silence, the Minister of Agriculture made his voice heard on the matter Francesco Lollobrigida: “I express my condolences for the death of the Indian laborer who died after being seriously injured in an accident at work and abandoned without anyone helping him. The Meloni government is at the forefront on all fronts to combat any form of exploitation at work. We are faced with a tragedy that cannot leave us indifferent and on which full light must be shed. With the Ministry of Labor and the Lazio Region we continue to work concretely against those who evade the law and do not respect the fundamental rights of workers. In Italy there is no space for those who want to operate outside the rules. Zero tolerance”.
