On Aug. 14, 2018 a road bridge operated by Autostrade collapsed, killing 43 people and laying bare the dire state of Italy’s crumbling infrastructures.

Prosecutors have also asked for Atlantia’s motorway unit Autostrade per l’Italia and engineering unit SPEA to be sent to trial, the sources said.

The court will now set the date for the start of the preliminary hearing, at the end of which a judge will decide whether to accept the prosecutors’ request.

Autostrade, SPEA and lawyers representing Castellucci were not immediately available to comment on the issue.
