The case focused in particular on a series of low-level tremors which hit the
region in the months preceding the earthquake and which prosecutors said
should have warned experts not to underestimate the risk of a major shock.
Defence lawyers said earthquakes could not be predicted and even if they
could, nothing could be done to prevent them and that it was meaningless to
talk of failure to give an adequate warning of the event.
The case is part of a wider controversy over the disaster in L’Aquila, which
is still largely unresolved more than three years later and which has been
at the centre of a series of bitter rows over Italy’s disaster preparedness.
Prosecutors said they did not expect scientists to provide a precise forecast
but that the commission had given “incomplete, imprecise and contradictory”
information on the danger facing the town after a meeting of the Commission
on March 31, 2009, a few days before the earthquake.
According to scientific opinion cited by prosecutors, the series of low-level
tremors should have led the experts not to underestimate the risk of a major
earthquake in zone known to be at high risk of seismic shocks.
Instead, they said the experts had made a series of statements downplaying the
risks of a repeat of the earthquakes which wrecked the town in 1349, 1461
and 1703 and saying the smaller shocks were a “normal geological phenomenon”.
They cited relatives of victims who said the reassuring message given by the
authorities meant they were unable to form an informed estimate of the real
risk they were facing.
They said the quake in April was “not an exceptional event” either in terms of
its strength or in terms of the town’s record of earthquake activity.
Italy is among the most earthquake-prone countries in Europe and has been
struck repeatedly by lethal tremors, most recently in May 2012, when 16
people were killed and hundreds injured by a 5.8 tremor in the Emilia
Romagna region.
