The night of May 25 to 26, the offices of Italferr(Italian nation­al rail­ways) locat­ed in Via Tor­cel­lo, close to the goods sta­tion of Gre­co Pirelli, were delib­er­ate­ly set on fire. This com­pa­ny is the engi­neer­ing branch that deals with research and devel­op­ment for the Ital­ian nation­al rail­way com­pa­ny, and is par­tic­u­lar­ly involved in stud­ies for the devel­op­ment of the high speed rail (TAV) between Turin and Pad­ua.

Accord­ing to recon­struc­tions of the cops, the fire was start­ed by pour­ing inflam­ma­ble liq­uid through a pre­vi­ous­ly bro­ken win­dow, then light­ing it with a smoke bomb. With­in min­utes, the fire had devoured the fur­ni­ture, com­put­ers and all the paper­work piled there by hard­work­ing engi­neers. Fire­fight­ers who inter­vened around 3:45 am took almost two hours to extin­guish the fire.
