BiggerJet Set nightclub seized
Santo Domingo.- The Public Prosecutor’s Office has seized the ruins of the former Jet Set nightclub, posting a notice this Wednesday to formalize the occupation of the property. This action follows the tragic collapse that occurred a month ago during a concert by Rubby Pérez, which resulted in 233 deaths and 154 injuries when the building’s roof caved in.
In memory of the victims, a Mass will be held at the site on Thursday at 10:00 a.m., officiated by Father Rogelio Cruz. After the service, family members and survivors plan to march to the Attorney General’s Office, where they will hold a candlelight vigil—a symbolic act of mourning and a protest against what they describe as a lack of justice and accountability in the aftermath of the disaster.
The prosecutors office should be investigating the crooked government officials who took bribes and allowed this tragedy to occur.
The government seized the asset as a means to retrieve the costs for its search, rescue, health care, and forensic activities resulting from the tragedy. It placed itself first in line for the recovery of its expenditures.
