seems to have a certain name of the merchant ship spotted the wreckage at the bottom of the Tyrrhenian Sea, twenty nautical miles (approximately 38 km) from the port of Cetraro, in the province of Cosenza. For the Prosecution of Paola the probability that it is the Cunski - as anticipated by the poster Friday - a cargo vessel out in 1956 by British shipyards, is extremely high.
From the first analysis of the video made by the robot Rav shows that the bow has a large hole, with the flaps sheet facing outward sign of a possible explosion on board. "Next to the ship - says the prosecutor Paolo Giordano Bruno - there are two barrels," where they were taken of samples sent for laboratory analysis.
Everything is therefore think that the wreck is really the first "ship to lose," used to transport - one way - of toxic and radioactive waste. The last owner of the cargo turns out to be a society of owners based in Saint Vincent, West Indies. This is the Alzira Shipping Corporation, as is clear from the archives Starke-Schell Registers British, one of the most reliable sources for reconstructing the history of a vessel. The company bought the ship in 1991 by another company, changing its name from a Cunski Shahinaz. From the log-Cunski Shahinaz is then demolished at Alang January 23, 1992.
The figures, at least for now, are these. Final identification and proof of the wreck will probably arrive in the coming days, when they analyzed the many images that the underwater robot is still collecting. The next step - the hardest - is to identify the cargo, the port of origin and the company that organized the transport. The reconstruction of the chain of responsibility will be the starting point to begin to shed light on the season of craft poisons. A sea of \u200b\u200bwaste
The Cunski - or better yet, the Shahinaz - is just one of many ships to lose than to the late 80s and early 90s were taken down with deadly cargo. The environmental groups - Legambiente, Greenpeace and WWF - in the 90s had reported a list of ships vanished into thin air. Reports and studies delivered to the bicameral committee on waste, which for years has dealt with each other.
was a particularly detailed informal list prepared by Greenpeace: six ships, with contact details of the alleged sinking. This is the Four Star I, the Years, the Commander Rocio, the Euroriver of Irini and Marco Polo. All cargo ships that today would be on the bottom of the Tyrrhenian Sea, loaded with waste. In some cases it is already possible found the data provided by Greenpeace with shipping registers. The site of the sinking Euroriver, for example, corresponds perfectly with what was declared by the shipowners. It will, however, must ensure that all ships are in some way involved. That's what today requires the Attorney Paul is the Regional Councillor Greek environment.
No response has ever come from the Italian state, which has essentially ignored the issue until today. If the region were enough Calabria € 70 000 and a few days of searching to locate and film the Cunski, little or nothing has been done by the Ministry of Environment or the merchant navy. No shipping, no task force, Rav no mandate to verify the presence of the wrecks. Only now, after the clamor of the discovery, the Minister Prestigiacomo promises government support to retrieve the Cunski, without specifying whether they will be searched for the other vessels. The involvement of governments
On August 3, 2004, after several questions and questions, the then Minister for Parliamentary Relations Carlo Giovanardi gave a sort of Deputies in the official version on the whole affair. And they are heavy words: "It showed a clear overlap between these activities and illegal arms trafficking." Traffic that has enjoyed, according to Giovanardi, institutional protections: "A number of elements - continued the Minister - that indicate the involvement in traffic governments of both institutional and outside Europe, as well as members of organized crime and unscrupulous characters, including the famous Giorgio Comerio.
Ships to lose are nothing more than the tip of the iceberg. In addition to the institutional complicity and direct action of organized crime - the laborers for the "dirty work" - there are obviously companies. They are called stakeholders, are the mediators that have the logistics, knowledge of the field, the network of contacts. A name is already widely known. It's Jelly Wax, who organized most of the trips of vessels for non-European countries such as Lebanon and Venezuela. But the origin of the chain are especially large industries, producers of waste. "To feed the illicit market - he wrote the committee of inquiry on waste October 25, 2000 - are also the industries of national importance and international, including substantial equity holdings in public." Industries that have used the semi-clandestine network of vessels to lose to get a 'disposal at the lowest cost, with no control over the final destination of the waste'.
