There is a suspect for the death of Satnam Singh, the Indian laborer who died yesterday at San Camillo in Rome , exploited and abandoned after a very serious accident at work in which he lost his arm.
His employer, Antonello Lovato , is accused of hit-and-run, violation of the provisions regarding irregular work and manslaughter . Interviewed by the police, he reported that he had transported Singh, with his amputated limb, in a van home. He said that the laborer's act was "a carelessness that can cost everyone dearly" . It cannot be ruled out that the Prosecutor's Office may also evaluate the crime of gangmastering.
A story, the one that took place in the countryside of the province of Latina, of ferocity and exploitation. The labourer, who worked without a contract and earned 4 euros an hour, lost his right arm at work, severed by a plastic wrapping machine. His wife worked with him in the same company. And while the woman begged to take him to hospital and call for help, the 31-year-old was loaded onto the minibus and abandoned outside the house, with his amputated arm – a chilling detail – resting on a fruit crate .
His family called for help, the air ambulance took him urgently to San Camillo, where yesterday he died after days of atrocious suffering.
The owner of the company, assisted by lawyers Stefano Perotti and Valerio Righi, was interviewed for several hours by the soldiers of the Latina company, directed by Major Paolo Perrone. It is to be verified whether the desire not to alert emergency services is linked to contractual irregularity or the worker's lack of a residence permit. Singh had arrived in Italy with his wife, both of whom had been employed in the same company for two years . A life like that of many Indian citizens who are numerous in the Agro Pontino countryside, employed in the countryside or on farms. .
