Rome [Italy], May 26 (ANI/Sputnik): Italy s law enforcement agencies detained three persons after lengthy interrogations in the case launched after the cable car crash in the northern Piedmont region that resulted in 14 fatalities, a RaiNews24 broadcaster reported on Wednesday.
The detention of the suspects was authorized by the prosecutor s office in the city of Verbania, which is investigating the case. The three suspects are Luigi Nerini, the owner of the Ferrovie Mottarone company that operated the cableway connecting the village of Stresa and the peak of Mottarone, and two senior employees of this company. All of them are currently in prison.
The disaster that killed 14 people in Italy on Sunday struck a small lakeside community just as its tourism-dependent economy was starting to revive. Three people have been arrested.
