Trial requested for 22 over 20

A prosecutor in the central Italian of L'Aquila on Monday requested that 22 officials for the Marche regional government and other local authorities be sent to trial in relation to flooding that hit the area of Senigallia in September 2022, claiming 13 lives.
    The suspects are under investigation over the alleged failure to their duty and negligence over maintenance work that may have prevented the impact of the flooding being deadly.
    They face charges that include involvement in multiple culpable homicide.
    A preliminary hearing will take place on December 4.
