The trial to ascertain hypothetical responsibilities on the death of Alessandro Marcelli58 -year -old engineer from Cosenza, head of the infrastructure and heritage sector of the Railways of Calabria and also operating director of the Lorica ski resortwill not be done. This was decided by the GUP, Benigno Letizia, in the preliminary hearing, pronouncing the sentence of no place to proceed against the four defendants in various capacities, in accordance with the new provisions introduced by the “Cartabia Law” which assigns the judge of the preliminary hearing the role of filter of the accused. A new function to explode the number of causes pending in court. In the present case, the Benigno Gup, evaluating the investigation elements, exhibited by the prosecutor Giuseppe Cozzolino when requesting the indictment, excluded “a reasonable predictability of the sentence”. And so, at the request of the qualified defensive college (formed by the lawyers: Pierluca Bonofiglio, Mauro Valerio, Domenico Sorace and Francesco Siclari), the judge has pronounced the non -place to proceed against Aristide Vercillo, former administrator of Railways of Calabria, Pasquale Melito, Santi Monasteri and Alfredo Sorace.
The investigation reconstructs the fatal accident that occurred on January 23, 2022, at the “Valle del Cavaliere” ascent plant in Lorica, in Sila. Marcelli died fully making his duty, as he did every day, with scruple, since the region had reopened the system. The official was overwhelmed by a plant cabin. A tragedy that occurred on a Sunday morning with many people lined up in front of the entrance to enjoy a Sunday in the snow.
