"I got leukemia in Kosovo", the Italian soldier who sued his country
Marco Vergine

An Italian army sergeant major who sued his state, accusing it of weapons that made him sick during a mission in Kosovo, has died. Marco Vergine will never know how his legal battle ended after he died at the age of 48.

He left behind his wife Eleonora, whom he married on July 7, 2007, and a minor daughter. On June 4, the funeral took place in Mogliano Veneto, full of relatives and friends and many military uniforms.

" Corriere della Sera " writes that Vergine claimed to have contracted the disease, which later proved fatal, during peacekeeping missions abroad and particularly in Kosovo during the operation called "Joint Guard".

The soldier claimed to have been in contact for a long time with depleted uranium and heavy metals present in the ammunition, inhaling them until they caused him a blood disease from which he never recovered. These are materials used in the production of ammunition to make them more effective.

They are difficult to detect because they are nanoparticles, caused by the explosion, and specific and in-depth tests are needed to detect their presence in the human body. If he wins the trial, his family will receive significant compensation from the Italian state.
