Antonio and Maribel Espaillat, owners of a nightclub whose roof collapse killed 236 people, were arrested amid accusations of negligence. Authorities claim they failed to take action to prevent the disaster and attempted to intimidate employees. Their lawyer mentioned evidence implying it was an unintentional act, while a former employee alleged he warned the owners about potential dangers before the incident. A government committee, including international experts, is investigating the roof collapse, and the Espaillats have 48 hours to face charges.
Both defendants displayed immense irresponsibility and negligence by failing to physically intervene to prevent the club's roof from collapsing, as it ultimately did, causing 236 deaths and more than 180 injuries.
This is an involuntary homicide. Nobody wanted that to happen.
If something happens to me, it's clear where it came from. My intention is not to hurt anyone, only that the truth be known.
