Giovanni Castellucci, former head of Autostrade per l'Italia, gets 12 years for Genoa bridge collapse that killed 43
Giovanni Castellucci, former head of Autostrade per l'Italia, received a 12-year prison sentence for his role in the 2018 Morandi bridge collapse that killed 43 people. The trial, which involved 57 defendants, resulted in 32 convictions, with sentences ranging up to 11 years, while 25 were acquitted or cleared due to the statute of limitations. Castellucci plans to appeal the ruling, which his lawyer claims undermines the truth of the incident and reflects a troubling trend in criminalizing corporate leadership.
