Environmental pollution negligence, seals on Noto’s purifier: among the eight investigated also the former and current mayor
The Prosecutor’s Office of Siracusa has served a notice of guarantee to eight individuals in the context of an investigation for negligent environmental pollution related to the various sewage treatment plants in Noto, in the Siracusa area. Among the recipients are the former mayor Corrado Bonfanti and the current mayor of Noto, Corrado Figura, as well as the directors and former directors along with the members of the Board of Aspecon, the company that manages the integrated water system in the municipality on behalf of the local administration. The judge of the court of Siracusa has also issued a seizure procedure of the plants, although investigators are focusing on the Passo Abate sewage plant. The news has been confirmed by judicial sources. “I am very calm and confident in the work of the judiciary – commented former mayor Corrado Bonfanti – As an administration, we have always taken all necessary actions and there are obvious problems, especially since we have been waiting for years for the Assemblea territoriale idrica di Siracusa, which last September awarded the temporary business grouping – consisting of Acea and Cogen – the tender for the selection of the private partner of Aretusacque spa, a mixed company in which the local municipalities will hold a 51% stake. Maximum collaboration and everyone will take responsibility.” “This is an investigation prior to my administration,” clarifies the mayor of Noto, Corrado Figura, “which concluded when I had been in office for about a month. In fact, my administration has carried out interventions in all sewage treatment plants in recent years and has requested funding from the Region.”
