Acciaierie d'Italia appeals Milan court order to stop ex-Ilva production

Acciaierie d'Italia, the company managing the ex-Ilva steel plant in Taranto, has filed an extraordinary appeal with the Court of Cassation. The appeal challenges a recent decree from the Milan Court of Appeal, which ordered the shutdown of the facility's hot area within 90 days due to pollution and health risks.

The company argues that the Court of Appeal's decision is incompatible with the original ruling from the Milan Tribunal. According to legal representatives, the first-instance judge had allowed the company to implement corrective measures to avoid a production halt, whereas the appellate court's order mandates an immediate suspension.

This marks the second corporate appeal regarding the matter, as Ilva in extraordinary administration, the plant's owner, has also petitioned the Supreme Court. The legal battle originated from actions taken by the Genitori Tarantini association and local citizens concerned about environmental and health impacts. The future of the Taranto steelworks remains uncertain pending the judicial outcome.
