Italy's Minister of Infrastructure
and Transport Danilo Toninelli said Friday that Autostrade per
l'Italia's claim to having fulfilled its obligations in a timely
manner as concerns a bridge that collapsed on a toll highway on
August 14 was "indecent".
"It is incredible to hear Autostrade speak about 'timely
fulfillment of its obligations' after a tragedy with 43 deaths,
9 injured, hundreds displaced and businesses brought to their
knees. This is indecent. We make things right again and we will
give citizens who travel security and services again," the
minister said on Twitter.
The comment came after the board of the Italian toll-road
operator, Autostrade per l'Italia, said that it had complied
with its obligations.
