Prosecutors Probe Disappearance Of Valuable Aircraft Components

Italian prosecutors are investigating the disappearance of nearly 2,500 components for Tornado, AMX, and C-130 aircraft, valued at approximately €17 million. The case involves around 10 people under investigation, including senior Italian Air Force logistics officials and executives linked to GE Avio. The Italian Air Force has established an internal fact-finding commission and is cooperating fully with the investigation. The missing parts are believed to have gone missing between 2021 and 2023 from an air force depot in Brindisi, with investigators examining a possible South American destination. The investigation was first reported by AeroTime.
