Genoa magistrate says 10-20 people may be missing in bridge collapse

There may still be between 10 and 20 people missing under the rubble of the highway bridge that collapsed in Genoa this week, the city’s chief magistrate said on Thursday. This is a working hypothesis based on information from relatives who have not heard from family members and the number of vehicles believed to be on the bridge on Tuesday, Francesco Cozzi told Reuters. Officials said 38 people were confirmed dead. Italy is weighing up options that range from stripping Autostrade per l’Italia of its entire motorway concession to fining the toll-road operator that was in charge of the collapsed bridge, a junior minister said. Autostrade per l’Italia, owned by Atlantia, operates the A10 motorway connecting the French border with the northwestern city of Genoa.
