(ANSA) – GENOA, 06 JUL – “The basic problem of this process will be the possibility of respecting the constitutional parameters of a reasonable duration. I hope that all the parties can behave taking this parameter into account.
A parameter of guarantee for both the victims and the accused. Without a reasonable time there will be no justice worthy of the name. “This was stated by the prosecutor Francesco Pinto on the eve of the trial for the collapse of the Morandi bridge, the viaduct collapsed on 14 August 2018 causing 43 victims. 59 people are accused , including former managers and technicians of Autostrade and Spea (the company that dealt with maintenance and inspections), current and former managers of the Ministry of Infrastructure and officials of the Superintendency.
“Any instance of the prosecution – continues Pinto – of the defenses and the civil parties must also be parameterized with respect to the criterion of the reasonable duration of the trial in the interest of the same civil parties and the accused.
Because there will be too many people who otherwise will remain on the grill and who could one day be acquitted as well as there will be many who are entitled to compensation but who will be able to see it after years “.
As for the protest of tomorrow’s journalists against the decision of the president of the judging panel to allow the filming only for ten minutes at the first hearing, Pinto stressed that “there is no infringement of the right to press. There is a difference between the right to report. news, guaranteed, and spectacularization. The trial can be followed, we cannot think of a justice closed inside the building. But it is also true that a trial of this kind, with a thousand eyes focused, risks being completely deformed by the constant presence of cameras “. (HANDLE).
