Merits trial against Antonio and Maribel Espaillat for the Jet Set case postponed
The court in charge of the trial against Antonio and Maribel Espaillat, linked to the collapse of the Jet Set nightclub, has determined a new recess in the judicial process. The hearing, which was taking place this Friday, was postponed to continue on September 18th.
The defendants are facing this legal process following the tragedy that occurred on April 8, 2025, the date on which the collapse of the establishment’s structure left a regrettable toll of victims. This event triggered an exhaustive investigation to clarify the causes of the collapse and determine the criminal responsibilities of those involved.
Details of the judicial process
During the development of the hearings, various pieces of evidence have been presented. Among the most critical points exposed before the court, the testimony of specialized experts stands out, who have pointed out that the infrastructure conditions presented serious flaws, specifically in the falling of concrete, which should have been sufficient reason to cease operations at the establishment before the tragedy occurred.
The case, which has held the attention of public opinion, continues its legal course as the parties involved, both the defense and the plaintiffs, present their arguments. The continuation of the trial on September 18th is a crucial step to advance to the merits stage and seek justice for the events that occurred at the Jet Set nightclub.
The court has set the new date for September 18, allowing the process to continue its course with the presentation of evidence and the corresponding arguments from all parties involved in this case.
From Alofoke Deportes we will continue to follow the details of this judicial process as the next hearings unfold.
