Shutdown scheduled for the end of October based on a decree of the same Court dated July 27 with a 90-day deadline, therefore the end of October. The panel, presided over by Lorenzo Orsenigo, reserved the decision. Which, according to the lawyers, could come within 3-4 days, possibly Tuesday, considering that Acciaierie has communicated that September 16 is the deadline to start the shutdown of the plants and complete it by the end of October.

“This is not a third level of judgment – says Ascanio Amenduni, lawyer assisting the citizens of Taranto who want the hot area stopped – but it is about understanding if there is an irreparable damage that Ilva, obliged to apply the decree of the Court of Appeal, would suffer in the time necessary to define the judgment in the Court of Cassation, about three years. That is, if the company, once the plants are stopped, would be right according to the Supreme Court.”
Both the lawyers of Acciaierie d’Italia and those of Ilva state that irreparable damage would occur and that the shutdown ordered this time by the judges is very different from those the company has done over time, then restarting the activity. In this case, the companies observe, the shutdown is related to the removal of asbestos in the cowpers of the blast furnaces and to the reduction of fine dust emissions, which cannot be achieved in 90 days.
