The builders of the Palacio del Cine were authorized to tear down the multi-storey movie house they were building in Santiago. It collapsed killing six people last Saturday 28 April. The remnants of the building endangered people passing by the construction site in central Santiago. The judiciary has detained builders Horacio Alvarez, Hugo Castillo and Manuel Emilio Rosario at the Palacio de Justicia of Santiago as the investigation continues.
