Val Susa : sabotaging the cables along the highways

[The incendiary attack on the Internet network near the French-Italian border on May 3 – an attack we had already gladly reposted (see below) – has just been claimed three days later, adding that the cables of the high-voltage power line had also been burned. Here is the translation of the communique].

Turin. Internet cables set on fire on the Frejus highway: municipalities isolated for hours

Trucks diverted from the Turin-Bardonecchia highway to the center of Susa (Italy). Smoke, thick and black, rose over on a long stretch of Highway 32. Data communication systems were interrupted for several hours in Oulx and Bardonecchia. This is the consequence of a fire of criminal origin that destroyed the cable channels passing under a small viaduct in the municipality of Salbertrand at around 6:30 am, on the Turin-Bardonecchia freeway, on the morning of Wednesday, May 3.

There is no doubt about the criminal origin of the fire, since it devoured both the duct – in which the fiber optic cable runs – in the direction of the upper valley, and the one that crosses the bridge in the opposite direction. Indeed, it is unlikely that at the same time, on both sides of the highway, the cables that carry the fiber optic internet network to Oulx and Bardonecchia caught fire in both directions accidentally.

In the morning, investigators from the Digos and the forensic police conducted investigations. The fire is believed to have been started with an accelerant. The perpetrators, who arrived under the viaduct through side roads, then quickly disappeared.
