Potenza, causes a forest fire in Nemoli: 47-year-old under house arrest

Potenza, at the request of the Public Prosecutor at the Lagonegro Prosecutor's Office, the GIP at the Lagonegro Court has issued an order ordering house arrest against a forty-seven year old from Nemoli, responsible for a forest fire that broke out on 1 September 2021 in the locality of Pui di Nemoli (PZ).

The precautionary measure was ordered following investigations conducted by the Carabinieri Forestry Station of Lagonegro (PZ). The technical analysis of the numerous fires that occurred in the municipal area initially made it possible to hypothesize the location of any subsequent ignition points. Thanks to the support of a system of cameras placed near these points, it was then possible to film the person responsible
From the analysis of the recordings of the video surveillance cameras, the forestry officers detected, at the time in which the fire broke out, the presence of a man on board a moped who, stopping the movement of his vehicle twice, he started the fire in the dry grass of the slope in two different places. Immediately afterwards flames and smoke break out in the video recordings.
With the Physical Evidence Method, it was possible to identify the starting points of the fire.
The identification of the vehicle from the license plate taken from the video recordings allowed the investigators to trace the person responsible for the forest fire and, in light of the serious indications of guilt, the Court of Lagonegro decided to apply the precautionary measure of house arrest.
The person responsible will therefore have to answer for the crime of forest fire for which he risks up to ten years in prison.
