Twelve people have been placed under
investigation in connection with an explosion at a Toyota plant
near Bologna that killed two people and injured 11 others last
October, judicial sources said Tuesday.
The Bologna Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating the
workplace accident at Toyota Material Handling in Borgo
Panigale, on October 23, 2024.
The 12 have been registered in view of a one-off technical
consultancy, to be assigned on May 5.
The aim is to reconstruct the dynamics of the events and
reassemble the system affected by the explosion inside the
plant.
In particular, this concerns the heating-refrigeration plant to
which a tank was connected from which the explosion apparently
originated.
Among those investigated is Michele Candiani, CEO of Toyota
Material Handling.
He and Toyota deny all wrongdoing or negligence.
