The trial on the tragic death of Francesco Mazzacane, the 24-year-old Neapolitan who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in a residence in Novegro di Segrate, in the province of Milan, is in full swing.
Article Key Points
The owner of the facility, believed to be responsible for the accident along with a plumber, has in fact requested a plea bargain.
The hearing held today before the GUP of Milan, Sonia Mancini, shed light on some crucial aspects of the case. According to the prosecution, the boiler in the residence had serious defects and had not been subjected to adequate checks and maintenance.
The plumber, who was responsible for managing the system, also allegedly failed to take the necessary safety measures.
The legal representative of the residence and the plumber are called to answer for manslaughter in competition, aggravated by the injuries suffered by the victim's partner, who miraculously survived.
Upcoming Hearings and Claims
The next hearing has been set for March 6. By this date, the parties must present their requests and any compensation proposals. The family of Francesco Mazzacane, having constituted itself as a civil party, has already entrusted its legal protection to the lawyer Laura Carla Bastia, with the aim of obtaining justice and adequate compensation for the loss suffered.
The investigations
The investigations conducted by the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office highlighted a series of negligences that would have led to the tragedy. The technical report confirmed that the boiler was defective and that its installation did not comply with current regulations. Furthermore, it emerged that the system had not been subjected to mandatory periodic checks.
