Ustica plane crash: statement by President Meloni

2 September 2023

"Giuliano Amato’s words regarding Ustica are important and deserve attention. Former President of the Council of Ministers Amato does, however, point out that his words are the result of personal deductions. Bearing in mind that no documents concerning the DC9 tragedy are covered by state secrecy and that, over the decades, lengthy work has been carried out by the judicial authorities and parliamentary committees of enquiry, I would like to ask President Amato whether, in addition to his deductions, he is in possession of any elements that would allow for a return to the conclusions of the judiciary and of Parliament, and, if so, to make them available so that the Government may take all the necessary consequent steps”.
