In recent days, the Provincial Command of the Guardia di Finanza of Benevento conducted two separate operations which led to the seizure of two illegal landfills in the municipality of San Salvatore Telesino. The operations are part of the institutional services aimed at the economic control of the territory.
During the first operation, the soldiers of the Solopaca Tenenza found, on land owned by the municipality, eight abandoned cubic bales, containing clothes, personal accessories (belts, bags, shoes and stuffed toys). The total weight of this waste amounts to approximately 2.5 tonnes. The circumstances of time and place led to the presence of an unauthorized waste dump.
The second operation concerned an area of approximately 18,440 square metres, owned by three residents of San Salvatore Telesino and a company from northern Italy. In this area, the military discovered an uncontrolled deposit of special waste, including plastic materials, tyres, ferrous materials, vehicle parts, electrical materials and household appliances, aggregates from building demolitions and asbestos. This waste constitutes a serious danger to human health and represents a serious damage to the environment.
Following these activities, both areas were seized in violation of article 256 paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree 152/2006. The owners of the areas were reported to the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the Court of Benevento. Considering that the seized areas are located in an agricultural area, the Judicial Authority authorized the Regional Environmental Protection Agency – Provincial Department of Benevento to carry out inspections and a technical assessment to assess the extent of the environmental damage and the risks to public health.
