Italian prosecutors have opened an investigation against the builders responsible for constructing those buildings that experienced maximum damage during the devastating earthquake that rocked central Italy last week.
The 6.0-magnitude earthquake on Aug. 24 killed at least 290 people and flattened villages in the worst-hit town of Amatrice.
A total of 115 buildings either collapsed or were severely damaged, including even the newly constructed ones that were supposed to be earthquake-proof.
The only school in Amatrice suffered serious damages as well.
"Luckily the earthquake did not occur during term time, because if it had happened during school hours and if kids had been here, I think no one could have survived," said Eva de Cesaris, a local resident.
"The collapse just happened. And we couldn't do anything to not make it happen," said Eufranio Raugo, another resident.
The school was restructured in 2012, however, it was destroyed in the earthquake in four years, which raised doubts among local residents.
"The school collapsed because the builders did not follow the rules. They didn't do what they should have in the reconstruction work. It must be so," said Mario, local resident.
Prosecutors will start an investigation into the construction of public facilities, including schools and hospitals.
Head of Italy's national anti-mafia directorate Franco Roberti said that Italy will take steps to keep crime syndicate from the reconstruction work of public projects in the quake-affected areas.
