# An Italian court has sentenced the country’s former motorway executives to prison, including former CEO Giovanni Castellucci, who received 12 years, over the Genoa bridge disaster. Forty-three people died when the motorway bridge came down in a rainstorm in August 2018, sending vehicles plummeting to the ground. Castellucci, who is already serving a six-year jail term for a 2013 road disaster, was one of 57 defendants. Thirty-two people were convicted and handed sentences ranging from one year to 12 years, while 25 people were either acquitted or cleared.
