Overview

• The request, delivered at the close of months of closing arguments, seeks the statutory maximum for culpable disaster and multiple counts tied to road homicide.
• Prosecutors contend Castellucci knew of serious structural defects from 2009 and deferred maintenance to cut costs and protect profits.
• In additional requests, prosecutors sought heavy terms for other defendants — 15 years 6 months for Michele Donferri Mitelli, 14 for Gabriele Camomilla, 13 for Emanuele De Angelis — for an overall total near 400 years.
• The prosecution indicated it will ask for many acquittals due to statutes of limitations affecting various charges among the 57 accused.
• ASPI and SPEA left the criminal case via plea deals worth about €29–30 million and by financing the new viaduct, and the schedule now brings civil parties on October 20 before defense arguments start December 1.
