Girasole: Mosquitoes test positive for the Usutu virus: Mayor's order comes into effect.

Forced indictment

The investigating magistrate had actually asked for the dismissal , not because there were doubts about the extent of the disaster caused in that corner of Sardinia by years of bombing, but because he believed it could not be attributed to the five very high officers under investigation.

The investigating judge Alessandra Tedde instead ordered the forced indictment for environmental disaster . The soldiers are defended by lawyers Guido Manca Bitti, Luigi Vincenzo of the Rome bar and Luca Carlo Montella of the Sassari bar.

The investigation had also hypothesized the multiple culpable homicide of soldiers and citizens who died of serious diseases around the polygon area: even that request for dismissal of the prosecutor was rejected by judge Tedde, who after having acquitted Graziano for not having committed the fact, he asked the prosecutor to carry out new epidemiological investigations.

The civil parties

The environmentalists of the Legal Intervention Group, the Party for the Protection of the Rights of the Military, the Region of Sardinia and 12 citizens of Teulada, among which there are mothers and relatives of dead people who are offended parties, have asked to be a civil party. in the manslaughter proceeding.

The judge has allowed the defenses until June 10 to prepare to discuss, the decision on the indictment could instead arrive on June 17 .
