The Calenzano Tragedy: A Devastating Explosion
Il deposito di Calenzano, situato nei pressi di Firenze, è stato teatro di un’esplosione che ha scosso l’intera comunità, portando alla morte di cinque persone e causando ingenti danni materiali. La procura di Prato ha avviato un’inchiesta che coinvolge la società Eni e nove individui, tra cui sette dirigenti della compagnia e due tecnici della ditta appaltatrice Sergen.
Le accuse mosse sono gravi e includono omicidio colposo plurimo, disastro colposo e lesioni personali.
Responsibilities emerging from the investigations
Prosecutor Luca Tescaroli revealed that one of the suspects attempted to obstruct the investigation, creating documentation that emerged only a month after the incident. Among the names involved are key figures such as Luigi Collurà, head of the Eni depot, and Patrizia Boschetti, head of operational management. The prosecutor's office stressed that the investigations revealed conduct of objective responsibility by Eni Spa, which is accused of administrative misconduct.
Suspicious maneuvers and economic consequences
Investigations revealed that if the tanker loading pumps had remained closed as planned, Eni would have suffered significant economic losses. However, despite the risks, the company continued to pump fuel while maintenance work was being carried out. This behavior raised questions about whether economic interests were prioritized over the safety of workers and the surrounding community.
Eni's position and the future of the investigations
Eni said it was aware of the notices of investigation and expressed its willingness to cooperate with the judicial authorities to clarify the causes of the accident. The company also confirmed its commitment to compensate the families of the victims and to cover civil damages in the territory. The situation remains tense, with the community waiting for answers and justice for the victims of this tragedy.
