Overview
- Nine people died after the 10‑story Hotel Dubrovnik collapsed on October 29, 2024, with the sole initial survivor later succumbing to injuries.
- The criminal case, labeled estrago culposo, has at least six people formally imputed who remain free under restrictions as the instruction phase drags on and could extend into 2026.
- Technical findings remain disputed: an INTI report flagged concrete irregularities including sea sand, while another INTI peritaje found the original concrete met period standards and shifted focus to later works such as an elevator installation in the west wing.
- Prosecutor Juan Pablo Calderón now leads the case and is awaiting a comprehensive report from the Federal Police Fire Brigade that analyzes site evidence and recovered videos of the renovations.
- Municipal records show a stop‑work order in August 2024 that was allegedly ignored, and families continue protests and civil claims as the sealed site stands as a public memorial.
