Rigopiano sentence for former prefect of Pescara final

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 3 - A sentence of one year and eight months for the former prefect of Pescara for the January 2017 Rigopiano disaster that killed 29 people became definitive Tuesday after a final ruling by the supreme Court of Cassation.
    The official, Francesco Provolo, got his definitive but suspended sentence in the Rigopiano massacre where on 18 January 2017 29 people died in the Abruzzo mountain village due to an avalanche that overwhelmed a hotel.
    Provolo was found guilty of refusal to perform official duties and forgery.
    A second appeal was ordered, instead, for six people, all managers of the Abruzzo Region at the time of the events, who had been acquitted in the two previous levels of judgment.
