The important and courageous decision Tuesday, January 11 delivered by the five judges composing the Third Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court has shed full light and put an end to criminal proceedings harbinger of twists.
Defendants: Paolo Scaroni, Franco Toto (former CEO of Enel), Renato Zanatta Busatto and Charles (former directors of the power plant Polesine Camerini) had in fact seen convicted at first instance by ruling the Court of Adria - dating back to March 30, 2006 - to sentences ranging from up to seven months in prison for Scaroni to a minimum of 260 euro fine for having committed crimes Busatto emissions of nuisance, damage and breach of legislation on air pollution.
In the process of appeal to the Court of Appeal of Venice, things had gone differently and the sentence that resulted (March 12, 2009) and Franco Toto acquitted Paolo Scaroni.
The sentence of the third degree tilt things back and fully confirms the prosecution's court ruling of the Adria. Unfortunately, as we all know the powerful almost never pay their debt to justice, in fact, in the meantime is time-barred. Nevertheless, the four defendants are required to pay damages for crimes committed by them, which must be quantified by the Civil Division of the Court of Appeal of Venice. There remains the curious fact that the list of parties claiming to be compensated, there are important absentees. While it contained
Giorgio Crepaldi, Francis and David Camerini Polesine Balasso of the Committee the free citizens of Porto Tolle, WWF Italy and Legambiente Nostra, together with the bodies of more than Po (Emilia Romagna, Provincia di Ferrara, municipalities Mesola and Goro, Po Delta Agency Emilia Romagna) is a lack of institutional Polesine civil parties (much more involved than those of Emilia Romagna). E 'curious how they preferred to sign a memorandum of understanding with Enel and withdraw from the proceedings. That this behavior can be explained in two ways: either in little confidence in the justice or in some hypothetical and reprehensible conflicts of interest.
Anyway, we must emphasize again the importance of this ruling with which the liability for the unlawful conduct will not be charged only the last wheels of the cart, but they are strongly implicated in the vertices of ENEL.
I wonder if now that they no longer have the security to make it always free, the current leaders want to continue on the road polluting the conversion of the shortsighted and central Polesine Camerini coal. When the future and the environment are asking us to dispose of such monstrosity and start a widespread production of energy in the home with safe and clean facilities besides focus on energy savings. The extreme events that are hitting the planet with a little flooding 'everywhere (recall that hit the Veneto only recently) are the unfortunate consequences of our way of life. The year 2010 proved to be the warmest year and appears to be primarily responsible for carbon dioxide. If the ENEL would escape the condemnation of justice, then we will be able to escape the condemnation of nature? Imposed a duty on all of us to say no to pollution and changing our lifestyles.
