Santo Domingo.- The brother of merengue singer Rubby Pérez assured that his family will not rest until they obtain justice after the tragedy that occurred in the Jet Set nightclub on the morning of April 8, which left 236 people dead and more than 180 injured.
“We will not rest until we get an answer,” he expressed, while demanding clarity and accountability regarding what happened in the collapse of the emblematic nightclub, an event that, according to him, has deeply affected the entire population.
Visibly affected, the family member pointed out that the pain intensifies with each memory:
“Every time we hear our brother’s song it’s like reliving the pain,” highlighting that the loss not only affects his family, but also the
Dominican people who for decades enjoyed the music of Rubby Pérez.
These statements are made amidst the
demonstrations and demands for justice from the victims’ families. During the march, the relatives insisted that “justice cannot be bought with money” and requested that the judges act with
impartiality and responsibility, warning that this case
should not go unpunished.
They also reported that on the next
January 30th, at 9:00 in the morning, a
hearing will be held at the Palace of Justice of Ciudad Nueva, in which the
Espaillat brothers will request a new expert assessment on the collapse of the premises. The relatives assured that they will
remain vigilant until justice is done and the facts are clarified.
