In a televised investigative report, investigative journalist Alicia Ortega looks into evidence that there were serious problems with the roof of the JetSet Club. The long trail of exchanges on the roof problems dates back to 2021. Ortega presents conversations with employees Manuel Jimenez and Gregory Adames.
The correspondence in videos and text highlights the situation and vulnerabilities of the roof.
The report includes several mentions of Maribel Espaillat alerting her brother Antonio Espaillat that the roof was failing.
The official technical report on the roof collapse presented by Onesvie reveals negligence on behalf of the management that had been given years to resolve the infrastructure problems.
The siblings face a maximum sentence of two years for involuntary manslaughter before the case moves to the civil compensation demands phase.
The actual trial has yet to start in court.
“The warnings were clear. Adames reported it time and again,” Ortega reveals in the report.
