Agi: Atterrate a Malpensa le salme dei 4 sub italiani morti alle Maldive

AGI - È atterrato intorno alle 13 e 10 il volo della Turkish Airlines che ha riportato in Italia le salme dei quattro sub morti durante una immersione. I corpi di Monica Montefalcone, docente di biologia marina all'Università di Genova, di sua figlia Giorgia Sommacal e dei due giovani ricercatori piemontesi Federico Gualtieri, di Omegna e Muriel Oddenino di Poirino, nel Torinese, dopo le operazioni di sbarco verranno portate all'obitorio dell'ospedale di Gallarate (Varese), struttura di riferimento per l'aeroporto di Malpensa.
Da lunedì le autopsie dei quattro corpi
Qui, a partire da lunedì, saranno eseguite le autopsie. L'esame autoptico sarà eseguito su tutti i corpi, compreso quello di Benedetti, a partire dal pomeriggio di lunedì 25. La procura della Repubblica di Busto Arsizio, che opera per delega della Procura di Roma che ha aperto un fascicolo per omicidio colposo, affiderà l'incarico con i relativi quesiti a Luca Tajana, dell'Istituto di medicina legale dell'Università di Pavia, alla tossicologa forense Cristiana Stramesi, sempre di Pavia, e all'anestesista, rianimatore e specialista di medicina sportiva e subacquea Luciano Ditri, uno dei massimi esperti italiani in medicina iperbarica. I legali delle famiglie potranno nominare i propri consulenti di parte. La famiglia Gualtieri indicherà la dottoressa Carola Vanoli, medico legale dell'Asl del Verbano Cusio Ossola.
 A gestire la procedura è il sostituto procuratore della Repubblica di Busto Arsizio Nadia Alessandra Calcaterra, che opera su delega della Procura di Roma, a cui afferisce il fascicolo che ipotizza il reato di omicidio colposo per ora contro ignoti. Il magistrato bustocco conferirà lunedì in un' udienza in programma alle 12,30 gli incarichi ai periti. Le parti lese potranno nominare i propri consulenti di parte. La prima autopsia a essere eseguita sarà quella del capobarca Gianluca Benedetti, il primo a essere stato riportato in Italia.

The bodies of the 4 Italian divers who died in the Maldives have arrived at Malpensa.

Turkish Airlines flight arrived around 1:10 PM, bringing the bodies of the four divers who died during an underwater excursion back to Italy. The bodies of Monica Montefalcone, a marine biology professor at the University of Genoa, her daughter Giorgia Sommacal, and the two young Piedmontese researchers Federico Gualtieri, from Omegna, and Muriel Oddenino from Poirino, will be taken to the mortuary of the Gallarate hospital (Varese), a reference center for Malpensa Airport, after the disembarkation procedures.

Autopsies on the four bodies will begin on Monday. The autopsy will be performed on all bodies, including that of Benedetti, starting in the afternoon of Monday, May 25th. The public prosecutor's office in Busto Arsizio, operating on behalf of the Rome Prosecutor’s Office which opened a file for negligent homicide, will entrust the task to Luca Tajana, of the Legal Medicine Institute of the University of Pavia, forensic toxicologist Cristiana Stramesi, also of Pavia, and anesthesiologist, resuscitation specialist and specialist in sports and underwater medicine Luciano Ditri, one of Italy’s leading experts in hyperbaric medicine. The families’ lawyers can appoint their own expert witnesses. The Gualtieri family will indicate Dr. Carola Vanoli, a forensic physician of the Verbano Cusio Ossola Health Authority.

The procedure is being managed by Substitute Prosecutor Nadia Alessandra Calcaterra of Busto Arsizio, operating on behalf of the Rome Prosecutor’s Office, to which the file is assigned, which currently hypothesizes the crime of negligent homicide against unknown individuals. The Busto Arsizio magistrate will confer the assignments to the experts in an audience scheduled for 12:30 PM on Monday. The injured parties can appoint their own expert witnesses. The first autopsy to be performed will be that of capobarca (boat driver) Gianluca Benedetti, the first to be brought back to Italy.
