Posted on February 11, 2012 at 14:54 0 Comments

Will the judgement be guilty or not guilty in the ‘asbestos trial’ of the owners of the company Eternit, in Casale Monferrato, Italy?

After a two-year trial, a verdict is finally expected to be delivered by a court in Turin, in Europe’s biggest environmental health case.

Two asbestos industrialists face a possible 20 years in prison if convicted on charges they failed to protect workers of their company.

Nicola Pondrano, an ex-Eternit worker, said: “We call it dust in…

Niccolo,
Even though Québec solidaire has turned its back on us - for the moment - there are many of us in Québec who continue this fight to expose the asbestos industry and the criminals within.
Best wishes,
Rae

Hello all

My son was killed by his negligent employer in 2005 in England,we have been fighting for justice for him ever since
I am also a founder member of the Campaign group in the UK Families Against Corporate Killers, we have all lost a relative through negligence by employers, I and the others have spoken in parliament in UK and on Workers Memorial Day throughout the country

My husband and I have a property near Turin, our daughter has lived here for 18 years, we are now taking up residence here and I'm hoping to get some of my fellow campaigners over from UK to join the demonstration in Turin on 10th December.We joined the march on the anniversary of the Thysson Krupp incident ,I feel strongly that all victims' families ,the unions and the public have to demonstrate worldwide that we will no longer allow politicians to protect companies who kill citizens.Directors should all be individually accountable for the negligence of their companies,that is the only effective deterrent
I am proud to be able to walk beside the Asbestos Victims Families of Casale
This trial will be such an important milestone

My father worked at Eternit in Bagnoli, Napoli. Does anyone know whom to contact to be considered as one of the victims? He suffers from severe respiratory problems and the doctors have told him several times that his lungs are full of Asbestos. It is a miracle that he is still alive but he has suffered for the last 25 years
