New blows for the “zozzoni” of Messina, and now there is also the risk of arrest. Interdonato: “The 56 cameras leave no escape”

The images of the last recorded episode are clear. To the point of identifying the license plate that led straight to the home of the author of the uncivilized gesture. Driving his van, a man stops on the side of the road that leads to Santo Bordonaro and then next to the guard rail he deposits the waste he has set aside on his vehicle one by one. Material from a construction site. Considered special waste. For him criminal charges and a very high fine. However, the incident occurred a few days before the entry into force of the new law which significantly tightens the penalties, even providing for arrest, seizure of the vehicle and suspension of the driving license in the case of special waste. But the gravity of the episode remains. It is sobering that the event occurred in broad daylight despite the fact that videos and news on the sanctions have circulated several times in the media. There are those who think they can get away with it and enjoy full impunity due to the absence of controls. But he’s wrong. There are hundreds of videos on the table of the brigade commander Giovanni Giardina. Dozens and dozens of fines and sanctions have already been sent. The media pillory implemented by Messinaservizi starts again. Yesterday at midday it was the turn of the Bordonaro polluter but there are many other uncivilized people on the list including some inhabitants of elegant condominiums in the northern area. The 56 cameras scattered across the area leave no escape, underlines the president of Messinaservizi Maria Grazia Interdonato. These types of transgressions are no longer closed with a simple fine. Regarding abandonment for business owners or managers of institutions, the law provides for arrest and up to two years of imprisonment and fines of up to 27,000 euros. If the waste is disposed of with a vehicle, the license will be suspended and the vehicle will be impounded. The abandonment of domestic waste involves fines of up to 18 thousand euros. In recent weeks, it was a shopkeeper in via S. Cecilia who was “pinched” for having given everything in a disorderly manner on the day of unsorted waste. For him a fine and the first of the warnings which, when they become three, lead to the temporary suspension of the activity. In Via del Santo, in recent weeks, during one of the many clean-up operations, documents were found among the waste from some removed landfills that could trace the offenders. When there is news of a crime, the videos are transferred to the judicial authority and with the necessary precautions published on the Messinaservizi website.
