Tuesday's Puglia train disaster
that killed 23 people was "objectively linked to corruption",
national anti-corruption czar Raffaele Cantone said Thursday.
The commuter train head-on collision "was probably due to
human error, but also stems from our country's atavistic problem
of fielding inadequate infrastructure and one of the reasons for
that is down to corruption," Cantone said.
Meanwhile a team of Trani prosecutors probing what was
Italy's worst rail disaster since 32 were killed in Viareggio in
2009 said last night they are investigating the Andria and
Corato station masters on possible charges of culpable rail
disaster and multiple manslaughter.
