The 1 year 8 month sentence for the former prefect of Pescara, Francesco Provolo, becomes definitive, in the context of the trial related to the tragedy of Rigopiano where on January 18, 2017, 29 people died due to an avalanche that overwhelmed a hotel. The judges of Cassation decided. Provolo is accused of refusal to perform official duties and forgery.
For the former mayor of the municipality of Farindola Ilario Lacchetta and for six managers of the Abruzzo Region at the time of the facts, who had been acquitted in the two previous levels of judgment, the Supreme Court has instead ordered a second appeal trial.
