Castellammare di Stabia – Carabinieri raid at the Fincantieri plant after a tip-off from Security personnel: a 54-year-old worker was arrested, accused of aggravated theft.
According to the reconstruction by the military, the man – an employee of a company specializing in naval electrical systems that operates within the shipyard – allegedly stole 10 kilos of copper cables. The cables, cut from the electrical system of a Navy ship under construction, were ready to be taken away when the man was surprised.
The 54-year-old was arrested on the spot and is now awaiting trial. In the meantime, investigations continue to verify whether other responsibilities or similar episodes are hidden behind the theft. The episode has caused a stir, considering the delicacy of the operations related to the construction of military ships and the strategic importance of the Fincantieri shipyard in Castellammare.
