Genoa Bridge Collapse Verdicts | Lubbock News
Description
In a landmark verdict from Genoa, Italy, twelve years in prison was handed to former Autostrade CEO Giovanni Castellucci for his role in the 2018 Morandi bridge collapse that killed forty-three people. Thirty-one others, including executives and engineers, were convicted for negligence and systemic failures in maintenance and oversight. The court ruled the disaster was preventable, citing a defective stay cable and ignored warnings. Victims’ families hailed the verdict as justice, while Castellucci’s team plans an appeal. The current Autostrade CEO apologized for the lack of accountability years ago, and the companies settled for thirty million euros to avoid corporate trial. A new bridge by Renzo Piano now stands as a memorial to the fallen.
