What we can confirm
The collapse of Genoa’s Morandi bridge killed 43 people, and Giovanni Castellucci was among the defendants prosecuted over the disaster; however, the claim that Italian officials, including Castellucci, received jail terms is not supported by the current evidence. The cited reports available here describe prosecutors requesting prison terms and, separately, Castellucci receiving a six-year sentence for an unrelated 2013 disaster, not a finalized jail term for the Genoa bridge case.
