Hi everyone, I noticed that the information regarding the trial against Elia for the Viareggio train derailment is not up to date at the latest degrees of judgement.

Here below, in yellow I have drafted a sentence with all information missing that could be integrated into the article. Furthermore, I have added two sources to back it up.

Do you think it can be a viable option to update the article? Thank you in advance for your kind support. --Claudia Frattini (talk) 09:27, 19 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Proposed update

He had been under investigation for an accident that caused the death of 32 people on 29 June 2009.[1]

With sentence pronounced on January 8, 2021, the Supreme Court annulled the sentence pronounced against him by the Court of Appeal on 20 June 2019, referring Elia to a new appeal judgment.[2][3]

@Barbie1979:@WhinyTheYounger: Thank you very much for your help!
As I also pointed out in the talk page of the article dedicated to Mauro Moretti (here), the text as written could give rise to the misunderstanding that the annulment is a consequence of the statue of limitation for the manslaughter conviction. Actually, the Court of Cassation deemed it necessary for the defendants to undergo a new judgment to assess responsibility, as a proper assessment of the defendants' guilt had not previously been made. To this end, I would propose to slightly revise the text as proposed below (I've highlighted changes in yellow). What do you think? --Claudia Frattini (talk) 13:08, 29 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
On 8 January 2021, the Supreme Court of Cassation annulled Elia's sentence, as declaring the statute of limitations for a manslaughter conviction had expired. The case was remanded and deferring his position to the appeals court of Florence for a new judgement on his responsibilities.
