“The products subject to checks by the Judicial Police were used by numerous other customers of the facility and also by the owner's own family, without causing any problems”.
This is what the lawyer highlights in a note Guerino Gazzella, lawyer of the owner of the pizzeria in Ariano Irpino, in the province of Avellino, in which 46-year-old Gerardina Corsano was reportedly intoxicated and died yesterday in hospital.
The woman and her husband had eaten a pizza on Saturday evening at the restaurant in Rione Martiri in Ariano Irpino. The pizzeria was seized by the prosecutor of Benevento Prosecutor's Office, Marilia Capitanio.
The lawyer emphasizes that his client “she immediately made herself available to collaborate” with the investigators of the Ariano Irpino Police Station and of “having undertaken all appropriate and necessary defensive activities useful for protecting my client”.
Which, through the defender, expresses “our deepest condolences to Mrs. Gerardina's family and our deepest solidarity with Angelo Meninno, for whom we sincerely hope that he will be able to return home as soon as possible.”
Testing of husband's biological samples
The magistrate ordered an autopsy of the woman to determine the cause of death, which could have been caused by botulinum poisoning. An important answer in this sense could come from the examination of Angelo Meninno's biological samples by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità.
