The State attorney's office in Prato
has given 60 days of time to court-appointed experts tasked with
probing the cause of the blast that killed five workers at an
Eni oil depot near Florence last Monday.
The depot will therefore remain closed and all activities will
be suspended, including the deposit and distribution of petrol,
diesel and kerosene stored there, investigative sources said
Monday.
Judicial sources said prosecutors in Prato, who have
jurisdiction over the area of Calenzano, are working to
determine the generic and specific risks connected to operations
carried out at the site, including those that derived from the
management of activities.
Prato State attorneys have appointed two expert consultants as
part of the investigation into the explosion.
They are explosives experts Roberto Vassale and Renzo Cabrino.
Both worked as court-appointment consultants in the
investigation into the 1992 "Capaci massacre", in which anti
mafia judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife Francesca Morvillo and
three of their bodyguards were killed.
