The murder does not stop at work: in Bologna, an employee of a company contracted by RFI for some interventions on the railways, died after being hit by a train. And he died too Marco Riccithe 39-year-old worker who fell yesterday from a height of about 10 meters on a construction site in Genoa.

He was doing maintenance work at night, together with some colleagues, on the tracks near the station of San Giorgio di Piano (Bologna), in an area where no trains were running. Then for some reason, which has not yet been clarified, he moved and was hit by a Rome-Trieste Intercity train that was passing on the first track, the Bologna-Venice line. Thus, according to an original reconstruction, a 47-year-old worker from Formia (Latina) died, Attilio Franzinispecial technician Salcef, a Romanian company that has some interventions on the railways under contract from RFI.

The railway police and ASL technicians are investigating what happened at 4.30 in the morning, coordinated by the Bologna Prosecutor’s Office. A case has been opened for murder, which is currently against unknown persons, given the short time that has passed since the event. Investigations have been carried out and witnesses are being interviewed. It is not excluded that more detailed investigations will be carried out in the near future and at that time records will be entered into the register of suspects, even if only the actions would be possible to do with the warrants of the law. Rail traffic was still suspended at dawn between Castelmaggiore and San Pietro in Casale and then there were delays of up to an hour. More inconvenience for passengers, in a week already heated by controversy over a breakdown at Rome’s Termini that led to the cancellation of more than a hundred trains the other day.

In this regard, Polfer is waiting for the technical reports, requested from Railways, RFI and other competent bodies to be able to assess if the conditions exist to start investigations and establish obligations. The safety plans and everything related to the actions being taken at the time of the accident will also be examined. The death of San Giorgio di Piano is “another inappropriate death at work, especially since it is not the first to occur during maintenance activities on RFI networks. We ask the government to take urgent measures to increase safety levels and protect people’s lives “. attacking the mayor of the city of Bologna Matteo Lepore, expressing sympathy and closeness to family and co -the worker’s jobs. Sympathy also comes from Fiom-Cgil, who called a four-hour strike by Salcef Group workers “although that company is not a union, to prevent these events from being a terrible norm”.

The strike “will be declared at the territorial level and at the individual production units”. Angelo Bonelli, spokesman for Green Europe, accuses the Government and Minister Salvini: “Despite this umpteenth murder at work” it is urgent for Prime Minister Meloni to change policies and people who are in charge The Ministry of Transport”, he said. The MIT said that “the minister is following the developments of what happened with great attention, starting with finding out the dynamics of the truth.
