Unfortunately, he was found the missing worker also died as a result of an explosion that occurred late in the morning at Sabino Explodenti in Casalbordino, in the province of Chieti.

In 2022, another accident in the same company.
Investigators confirmed this. Even in December 2020 Another accident at the same company in Contrada Termini killed three workers. The plant recycles and recovers gunpowder after disposal. The last fatal accident in Abruzzo related to factories or warehouses of pyrotechnic materials occurred in February last year, when a man was killed in a warehouse explosion on the outskirts of Teramo.
Explodenti Sabino is a factory for processing military explosives. It deals with the demilitarization of all types of ammunition: from missiles to bombs and mines. This is a plant where there is a risk of major accidents and is therefore subject to the Seveso Directive (which includes a number of requirements to prevent accidents). On Christmas Eve in December 2020, an explosion killed three workers – aged 45, 46 and 54 – while they were moving a box of boat flares. Then, in April 2021, an arrest order was signed by the prosecutor Vasto Giampiero Di Florio: charges of environmental crimes, in particular the storage of hazardous waste on the ground in various areas of the plant without a permit.
