Prosecutors in Prato on Tuesday filed
a request to try three people over a textile mill accident death
in the Tuscan city in May that raised the profile of a spate of
fatal workplace accidents in Italy.
The death of 22-tyear-old Luana D'Orazio, mother of a
five-year-old son, after she was trapped in a textile machine
whose safety features had been changed caused shock waves across
Italy.
Indictments are now being sought against the mill's official
owner, Luana Coppini, her husband Daniele Faggi, the de facto
owner, and an external maintenance technician, Mario Cusimano.
The three have been charged with culpable manslaughter and
culpable removal of anti-injury systems.
