Notice of conclusion of preliminary investigations notified. And the crimes of complicity in manslaughter and culpable liability for death in the healthcare sector are hypothesized, plus a charge also for false ideology. There are 6 doctors from the Tropea hospital registered in the register of suspects by the Vibo Prosecutor’s Office: Fidel Perez (Cuban doctor domiciled in Coccorino), Luigia Uslenghi (doctor, resident in Zambrone), Benedetto Taccone (nurse from Tropea), Alfonso Stagno (health care worker from San Calogero), Vincenzo Guglielmino (health care worker from Tropea), Rosa Russo (assistance worker from Tropea). They would have acted with both general and specific negligence, violating the guidelines and good clinical practices. In fact, they are held in various capacities for the death of 54-year-old Fabio Cisotto, the Roman tourist who had an Ibuprofen tablet stuck in his throat in June 2024. From the autopsy ordered after his wife’s complaint, it emerges that he could have been saved with the administration of adrenaline, which has “an effectiveness close to 100%”.
