The arrival of the young man comes at a time when the Public Ministry is expected to formally present the request for coercive measures against Antonio Espaillat and his sister Maribel Espaillat, accused of alleged gross negligence for not taking timely measures to prevent the collapse of the roof of the nightclub, a tragedy that left 236 people dead and more than 180 injured. Ricardo joins the list of family members and acquaintances who have gone to the Palace of Justice to accompany the businessman, who was transferred last night, Thursday, to the preventive prison of the same building, pending the outcome of his legal situation.
