Special waste dumped illegally in a wooded area subject to landscape constraints between the municipalities of Avellino and Monteforte Irpino: after numerous television reports broadcast by the Irpinia broadcaster Telenostra, the Carabinieri of the Environmental Protection Unit of the Provincial Command have started an investigation to identify those responsible for the illegal abandonment in the Molinelle area.
Bags containing construction waste, discarded household appliances, bulky and hazardous waste, including asbestos products, were found on site. Authorities have begun cleanup operations in the area to prevent environmental and health risks.
A detailed report has been sent to the Public Prosecutor of Avellino, Domenico Airoma, who will evaluate any measures against those responsible. Investigations continue to identify who transformed a protected area into an illegal landfill.
