Santo Domingo.- Maribel Espaillat, one of the owners of the Jet Set nightclub, was transferred to a health center after being arrested on Thursday afternoon.
Although videos captured by the press show her brother, Antonio Espaillat, being taken to the Palace of Justice of Ciudad Nueva, Maribel is not observed in any of the audiovisuals. According to a source close to the process, the businesswoman was taken directly to a private clinic, although her state of health is still unknown.
Both siblings, Maribel and Antonio Espaillat, are under arrest on charges of negligence, involuntary manslaughter, and witness intimidation, in connection with the collapse of the Jet Set roof, a tragedy that left 236 dead and more than a hundred children orphaned.
In a video captured on Thursday afternoon, the Espaillat brothers are seen with their lawyer, Miguel Valerio, when they went to the Attorney General's Office to be interviewed. It was in that place where they were notified of the formal arrest.
Authorities continue investigations while society demands justice and answers in the face of one of the worst tragedies the country has experienced in recent years.
