A civil action to obtain compensation for environmental damage, following the criminal trial which had seen the former Syndial executives convicted of serious environmental pollution in the trial on the so-called "Darsena dei Poileni", in the industrial area of Porto Torres.
The municipality of Turrita has decided to bring the civil case.
In March 2023, the sentence, issued by the third criminal section of the Supreme Court of Cassation, rejected the appeal presented by the defense lawyers, Piero Arru, Luigi Stella and Fulvio Simoni, Grazia Volo and Riccardo Olivo, confirming the sentence imposed on three former Syndial executives, Francesco Papate, Oscar Cappellazzo and Gian Antonio Saggese, convicted on appeal by the Court of Sassari, in December 2021, for the crimes of negligent environmental disaster and defacement of natural beauty.
The Municipality of Porto Torres, following the definitively ascertained facts on the environmental pollution in the body of water of the Darsena Servizi, in front of the Eni factory, and after having obtained the recognition of compensation of 100 thousand euros as a civil party, intends to start the legal procedure to supplement what has already been received. The organisation's lawyers will establish the amount of compensation.
