GENOA, Italy (Reuters) -An Italian judge on Thursday ordered 59 people, including former Atlantia CEO Giovanni Castellucci, to stand trial over the deadly collapse of a bridge in Genoa four years ago, judicial sources told Reuters. Judge Paola Faggioni, at the end of a closed-door preliminary hearing that began last October, also accepted the settlement proposed by Autostrade and its sister company SPEA to close the case. Autostrade had offered to pay 1 million euros ($1.1 million) as a settlement and 26 million euros in compensation to the Italian state for the case, while SPEA had proposed to pay 810,000 euros to settle.
