The prosecutor of Bologna has opened an investigation against unknown persons for the arson that has affected some facilities at the station of Santa Viola, the gateway to the central station of Bologna. The movement of trains in the railway junction of Bologna was blocked for several hours then the traffic has ricomincato to share from 7.30. The offenses alleged are threatening
rail disaster caused by damage, disruption of public services and damage followed by fire.
On a wall near the railway embankment of the station of Santa Viola were found three written “No Tav” penned with spray cans, of which at least one is definitely recently. Were then found several matches and parts of rags used for lighting the fire that disrupted rail traffic. The chief prosecutor of Bologna, Roberto Alfonso, is personally following the first phase of the investigation and the scientific police found the remains of rags with which they were wrapped cables and some matche s.
“There is unfortunately what I feared, a new terrorist act with the Tav, and this is not another arson this morning in Bologna. But it will not stop us in the street to innovate and change Italy, “he said in a statement Infrastructure Minister Maurizio Lupi.
” I want to reassure all Italians: we get back to recall the words of the past, ongoing operation of sabotage and verify what happened, “said the prime minister has instead Matteo Renzi in RTL. “We are monitoring the situation had happened something similar although less impact in recent days in other cities.”
The fire was hanged this morning around 4:30. Burning the cables of the management system and traffic control. Would be four wells on fire. The Fire Department intervened with different teams on alert from the early hours of the morning. They stopped the trains of high speed along the Milan-Bologna, ordinary trains along the same lines and trains on conventional lines Bologna-Piacenza, Bologna-Verona and, only in the initial stage, Bologna-Porretta, with cancellations and delays up to 120 minutes.
The first report came to the Railway Police is of 4.25. According to the findings of the four wells on fire are located within fifty yards. The flames on three wells near the High Speed were extinguished quickly with fire extinguishers by officers of the Police Station. For the fourth well, affecting instead the conventional line to Milan, the fire developed in a more comprehensive and has been tamed by the intervention of the fire.
It would have been a handful of people to set fires. According to investigators the bombers would have used rags soaked in gasoline or flammable liquid, which affected some meters distant points of each other. Precisely for the distance between the stakes is assumed that to act has been a small group. In the area there are security cameras although not exactly the point of sabotage, but due to the thick fog last night is likely that the films are not much help.
The site of sabotage to railways Bologna is located in via Triumviato, between two rail flyovers, and is easily accessible by road. The writings No Tav are three: a few meters from the place and two on the walls of the fence on the sides of the ballast. As far as you can see, in the written closest to the stake (about three meters from the point of the attack) it says “TAV” with a dot under the ‘V’ and under a kind of lightning.
The railway traffic has begun to spread from 7.30. After the first measures the speed trains, which for a few hours have used alternative routes with passenger service in the station of Bologna San Ruffillo, are recovering to travel on one of the two tracks already reactivated, with lengthening travel times up to 60 minutes. Reactivated from 7.30 also the traffic on the conventional line Bologna-Verona. Regional trains of conventional line Bologna-Piacenza are still in the station of Bologna Arcoveggio, those long-distance using the station of Saint Lazarus.
Around 10 are back regular departures of trains from Rome to the north. Reportedly, delays instead for trains arriving from the north, with a maximum of 60 minutes.
Discomfort also at Milan station especially for trains arriving from Bologna: I’m currently a dozen convoys late with a peak of 220 minutes late for a regional fast scheduled at 8 from Bologna. Railways announced the speakers possible average delays of 60 minutes on different trains. Departing from Milan’s central station are provided 100 minutes of delay for a regional fast direct to Bologna. In the galleries of the station dozens of people are then waiting to leave.
“They hit the high speed that is the clear symbol of this change – said Wolves -. Their new strategy, the attack on the train Italo in Ostiense, to that of the TGV in Vercelli and then the two acts of arson Florence and Bologna are a clear sign of a terrorist attack which aims to create inconvenience to citizens and tensions social just to stop Italy change: from high speed to the jobs act. The history of our country says that similar attempts have already been defeated and isolated. To live in fear and fear ordinary people is the most serious form of corruption of civil life. But their is an illusion, we will continue with even more strength and seriousness. “
” It’s an episode that worries us.
We must be very careful, “said the chief prosecutor of Bologna Roberto Alfonso. The prosecutor personally oversees investigations
Digos pm with the group ‘Institutions and terrorism Antonella Scandellari. “We’re putting in all the investigative tools at our disposal to identify the perpetrators of the act,” said Alfonso, that in the morning we got in touch with the prosecutor of Florence.
