Giovanni Castellucci, former CEO of Autostrade per l'Italia, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison nearly eight years after the deadly collapse of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa. The verdict arrives four years after the start of the trial, marking a significant development in the long-running legal case. The collapse in August 2018 killed 43 people and prompted a national outcry over infrastructure safety and maintenance. Castellucci was found guilty of multiple offenses, including manslaughter. Other defendants were also given varying sentences as part of the extensive investigation into the disaster. This decision follows years of investigation and debate concerning the causes of the bridge failure, focusing on inadequate maintenance and safety checks. The sentencing aims to provide a measure of justice for the victims and their families.
