The architect, foreman and chief of works have been granted bail as they face charges of negligent homicide following the death of four construction workers in the hotel collapse.
Instruction judge number two in Manacor, has taken the decision to grant bail for the three men implicated in the collapse of the hotel on Mallorca earlier this week in which four construction workers, two Spaniards and two Moroccans, lost their lives.
Charges remain against the three men, the architect, the foreman and the chief of works, Arturo Vila, Josep Lluís Pujol, and Joan Bonet, who continued to carry out the building reforms at the Hotel San Moll, despite being ordered by the local Town Hall to stop doing so as there was no building licence. However the family of one of the victims has challenged the bail and is demanding that the judge, Martina Mora, imprisons the three men on remand.
The three men arrived at the court yesterday afternoon in two Guardia Civil cars, and were questioned by the judge who is trying to establish whether they provoked the deaths when three floors of the hotel annexe building collapsed.
If found guilty of negligent homicide, the three men face between four and six years in prison. Four other people are indicted in the case, including two more builders and the owner and legal administrator of the hotel.
