Giovanni Castellucci, the former CEO
of highways company ASPI, and nine other defendants have paid
damages to civil plaintiffs in relation to the August 2018
Morandi Bridge-collapse disaster in Genoa in which 43 people
died.
A statement by lawyers released on Tuesday at a hearing of the
criminal trial into the disaster said that Castellucci and the
other defendants had agreed a settlement with the 193 civil
plaintiffs.
It said the settlement was "partial" as it regarded only a
"small group of defendants", adding that ASPI itself had not
agreed to give compensation.
The statement also said the "settlement is in no way intended as
an admission of guilt".
