A 45-year-old man residing in the Teano area has been identified and reported to prosecutors after allegedly abandoning a bucket containing paint and other hazardous waste along a provincial road.
According to Il Mattino Caserta, the incident was captured by environmental-monitoring cameras. Investigators say the footage enabled them to identify the vehicle's license plate and trace the alleged offender.
The operation was carried out by the Provincial Police of Caserta together with the Italian Agroforestry Guard.
The report states that the vehicle used in the alleged dumping was seized and the driver's licence was withdrawn. The case has been referred to the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Court.
The exact provincial road where the waste was left and the date and time of the incident were not disclosed in the available report, and no judicial outcome has been reported.
