Marzia Caccioppoli moved to the countryside near Naples seeking a healthy environment for her son Antonio but unknowingly relocated to a toxic hotspot known for illegal waste dumping by the mafia. This decision led to tragic consequences as Antonio died young, amid growing cancer cases linked to the hazardous environment. Caccioppoli and other plaintiffs sought justice from the European Court of Human Rights, which ruled that Italian authorities failed to prevent environmental and health crises affecting millions in the region, highlighting systemic negligence over decades.
The mafia's toxic waste dumping in the 'triangle of death' has profoundly affected health and environment, resulting in a long-standing crisis largely ignored by authorities.
The case brought against the Italian state highlighted severe negligence in addressing toxic waste dumping, which has had devastating health impacts in the region.
