ha tomado medidas ante informaciones de que el empresario Antonio Espaillat López estaría realizando acciones para transferir bienes a su nombre. El órgano acusador habría interpretado esto como una estrategia para evitar resarcir a las cientos de víctimas del desplome de la discoteca Jet Set.
He attempted to transfer some of his assets to other people or entities and the prosecutor's office (some how) prevented him from doing so (even tho he's not yet been charged for any crimes?)
What I said/meant was that the article did not make that direct accusation, but the idea is there. Yes, we read the same article.
The news forum usually quotes the main papers here so we will see what it says next week.
I'm not sure what the senate was thinking, if you can call it that. Maybe it's just a stop gap until whatshisname starts paying out the big bux.
50,000$US is this supposed to be a joke ??? 206$US per victim !?!?
That's around 13k pesos per victim at that number. Sure they get a lot of respect... I hope that's a joke or something...
If so, I think that's just clever lawyer talk. He might not be transferring assets out of the nightclub, but the article claimed that assets were in the process of being transferred out of many properties that were linked to the owner.
Here it says in Listin Diario
As I was reading it for the first time I thought to myself that they must have made an error and meant per person. It was still an insulting low amount
Well, that's different than what was stated in your first post on this where transfers were limited to the nightclub.Here it says in Listin Diario
Antonio Espaillat no ha transferido sus bienes, dice abogado
El Ministerio Público ordenó un peritaje técnico sobre el colapso del techo de la Jet Set, donde fallecieron 232 personaslistindiario.com
I think we are quite passive here. Just trying to understand the local news about it.
This is one reason I often times don't even follow daily news here. The journalism practiced here sometimes just gives me a headache... Everything that I was taught about writing, working with sources...
In the first article, it said that based on "information" (literally what the article stated) Espaillat was doing something he should not have been doing. I did not see any reference as to what/where/when did this "information" come from....
