YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA damning new government report has revealed that the owners of the Jet Set nightclub in the Dominican Republic blatantly disregarded critical safety regulations in the lead-up to the building’s deadly collapse, which killed 236 people in April 2025. Siblings Antonio and Maribel Espaillat, who were arrested on June 12, are accused of illegally modifying the building’s structure, overloading the roof with heavy equipment, and pressing ahead with the April 8 event despite visible signs the venue was in imminent danger. Investigators say the tragedy could have been avoided entirely had the owners followed basic construction and public safety laws.
