The depot will therefore remain closed, and all activities will be suspended, including the deposit and distribution of petrol, diesel and kerosene stored there, investigative sources said Monday.

Judicial sources said prosecutors in Prato, who have jurisdiction over the area of Calenzano, are working to determine the risks connected to operations carried out at the site, including those that came from management.

Prato State attorneys have appointed two expert consultants as part of the investigation into the explosion.

They are explosives experts Roberto Vassale and Renzo Cabrino.

Both worked as court-appointment consultants in the investigation into the 1992 “Capaci massacre”, in which anti-mafia judge Giovanni Falcone, his wife Francesca Morvillo and three of their bodyguards were killed.
