Being placed under investigation in the Italian legal system doesn't imply guilt, it simply means that the case has been handed over to an Investigating Magistrate who will try to determine what happened.

The Guardian said:I let that train go, it was me that gave the signal, La Stampa quoted Piccarreta as saying.
The stationmaster said that on the day of the crash: There was confusion, the trains were delayed.
One investigator quoted by La Repubblica newspaper said the lines outdated technology had become more dangerous as more trains were added in recent years and there was pressure to avoid delays.
Prosecutor Francesco Giannella said human error was only a part of the story and told La Stampa: We will absolutely not stop at the obvious elements, at simple solutions. We will look for all the people responsible, including those who are responsible in different ways.
