The trial that will have to decide on the allegedbuilding abuses linked to the expansion of the bomb factory of Rwm , the company with a factory in Domusnovas controlled by the German Rheinmetall, will start on March 3 in the Court of Cagliari.
The judge for the preliminary hearings Manuela Anzani accepted the requests for indictment by the public prosecutor Rossella Spano for all 9 of the defendants who ended up in the investigation by the provincial public prosecutor's office.
They are the managing director of Rwm, Fabio Sgarzi, the deputy, Leonardo Demarchi, and the three technicians appointed by the company to draw up the expansion plans, Palmiro Palmas, Ignazio Pibia and Mauro Pompei .
The municipal officials who had issued the authorizations for the expansion are also on trial: the manager of the One-Stop Shop for production and construction activities (Suape) of Iglesias and Domusnovas, Lamberto Tomasi, as well as the technicians Elsa Ghiani, Anna Rita Perseu and Giuseppe Matzei .
The disputes concern the expansion of the company's buildings which, according to the indictment, took place without the necessary planning, environmental and landscape authorisations . The charges of forgery and about thirty alleged violations of building and environmental regulations related to the factory expansion project between 2017 and 2019 stand out in the charge. The investigation was born from a series of lawsuits presented by various pacifist and ecological associations , committees and trade unions. Many of these associations have brought civil action.
