Lambro: the "gang of tanks" and speculation. The same hands?
was four in the morning between Monday and Tuesday. Someone brought into the refinery Lombarda oil, Villasanta, near Monza. Headed out to the tanks, tamper with, opening the taps, clogging the sewage treatment plant and filling the river Lambro with 15,000 cubic meters of gas and oil. No danger of being caught: the guard had gone to 3.30. But who is the refinery was to tamper with and why? Expert hands without a doubt, do not open up these tanks is like opening a tap. Hands and minds that were looking for a profit. Made a profit of land free at last to the concrete.
The same investigators emphasize that the act is 'sabotage' completed by someone who knew the refinery. "Who acted knew where to hit," say the investigators. Why to navigate the vast labyrinth of Petroleum Lombarda, the more the dark, you need someone who knows those places as their own pockets. In addition to open tanks must guess combinations of valves and valves. In addition, the Lombard
oil was officially closed in 1984 and now goes to the full disposal. For now only serves as a deposit. There were dozens of workers, they have remained 17, and of these, after the summer, they went in 12 layoffs. In Lombardy there are 20 tanks, of which only seven still in operation: the only ones that have been tampered with. Who acted, therefore, not only knew how to get the tanks and how to open them. He also knew which were filled with diesel fuel and which, however, empty.
And now we come to the motive. Who might be of interest to discredit the company? Company closed and being sold? To answer might be interesting to know that the area of \u200b\u200bthe former refinery since 2005 has been the focus of a reclamation project approved by the City of Villasanta, who will pocket 28 million in exchange for permission to build a neighborhood of 309 thousand square meters . So there's a project that involves the destruction of the refinery and build in its place, a large residential area.
"A deal worth 500 million €," says Mayor Emilio Merlo. And who is leading the deal real estate? The owners of the former refinery: cousins \u200b\u200bAddamiano Tagliabue and the Construction of Nova Milanese. An eerie coincidence that gives rise to doubt, to the scrutiny of investigators, that the origin of the disaster there is significant speculation. For the purposes of the new redevelopment project, in fact, far less "annoying" a former refinery empty, that does not need to dispose of harmful substances.
When investigations are moving forward. Meanwhile, the Prosecutor of the Court of Monza has opened a file on the case for environmental disaster and poisoning the water. Among the first acts of the investigators will be the seizure of the tanks Company
