The sentence of no place to proceed against four health managers accused of manslaughter and culpable epidemic for the death of the surgeon Marco Spissu was challenged by the public prosecutor of Sassari, Paolo Piras.
The provision rejected the request for indictment for Fiorenzo Delogu, coordinator of the crisis unit of the social health area of Ats - defended by lawyers Silvio Piras and Giovanni Sechi - and three managers of the Sassarese Polyclinic: Paolo Argenti, managing director, Angelo Pietro Melis, medical director, and Angelo Capriotti, head of the prevention and protection service, assisted by the lawyer Agostinangelo Marras.
Marco Spissu, 72, had been killed by Covid on April 15, 2020 , the accused were acquitted "because the fact does not exist", only Argenti was indicted but for contravention offences.
The surgeon would have contracted the virus at the Sassarese Polyclinic, where he had voluntarily returned to work after retirement to lend a hand during the pandemic, and where he had treated a patient who later tested positive. The investigating judge had rejected this thesis and acquitted the defendants: Spissu, he argued, could have been infected at any other time and place in his daily activities, and not within the private clinic. The deputy prosecutor has now appealed against this decision.
