Abstract

The judgment of the Court of Assize of Turin on April 15 2011 represents the first stage of the judicial facts related to the stake of ThyssenKrupp, the story that is now carved in the collective imagination as one of the greatest if not the most serious accident at work of recent times. The Court of Assize of Turin, the outcome of a trial of considerable technical complexity in legal as well as social and media impact, welcomed the setting accusatory, condemning the E. the penalty of 6 years 16 months' imprisonment (also) for the crime of murder with dolo eventuale. The claim of responsibility for eventual intent of the employer to fatal accidents and injuries to workers constitutes a novelty in jurisprudence known. This innovative reconstruction did not find unanimous consent in the commentators and certainly will again discuss interpreters and legal practitioners, in relation to the possible practical implications of extending the notion of dolo eventuale in the field of workplace accidents.
