Italy's transport ministry on
Saturday voiced extreme concern over a bike chain found on a
rail line in Veneto Thursday amid rail company Ferrovie dello
Stato (FS) suspicions that some recent faults that caused major
disruption may have been the result of deliberate sabotage.
"The complaint formalized by FS after the report, in Veneto, of
an object that could have caused significant damage to the
pantograph and the train power line is extremely worrying," said
the ministry in a statement.
"The hypothesis of an attack on transport is a fact that cannot
and must not be underestimated: we are faced with a further
element after the (FS) complaint of a few days ago.
"The hope is that clarity will be made very quickly. Deputy
Prime Minister and (Transport) Minister Matteo Salvini is
following the matter with the utmost attention".
