The collapse of the roof of the Jet Set nightclub occurred during a concert by the renowned merengue singer Rubby Pérez. The incident has generated deep shock in Dominican society and has led the authorities to intensify investigations to determine responsibilities and prevent future similar events. It is recalled that businessman Antonio Espaillat was transferred on Thursday night to the prison of the Palace of Justice of Ciudad Nueva, as part of the ongoing investigation into the collapse of the roof of the Jet Set nightclub, a tragedy that left 236 people dead and more than 180 injured. Authorities also confirmed the detention of Maribel Espaillat, sister of the businessman and administrator of the nightclub, who according to reports was the first to alert Antonio about what happened, by calling him from the rubble in the early morning of April 8th. Both brothers appeared at the headquarters of the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic (PGR) shortly after 2:00 p.m. on Thursday and around 6:50 p.m., the Public Ministry issued a statement confirming that the Espaillats are being investigated for involuntary manslaughter, due to their alleged negligence in the prevention of structural collapse.
