San Borja Construction Collapse Kills Three Workers as Prosecutors Probe Possible Negligence

Officials are examining whether a freshly poured concrete panel failed when formwork was removed.

Overview

  • The Ministerio Público opened a case to determine responsibility, identifying Alera S.A.C. as the company in charge of the multifamily project.
  • Fire officials said the slab had been poured the previous day and gave way when the formwork was taken down, crushing the crew below.
  • San Borja’s municipality said the site had permits and safety gear but ordered a preventive shutdown while causes are investigated.
  • Relatives allege the site engineer is missing and the families’ lawyer, Mario Arribas, plans criminal complaints for homicidio culposo and exposure to danger.
  • Police named the deceased as Richard Espinosa Rojas, 55; Rosbel Briones Carranza, 39; and William Alfredo Núñez Valladolid, 19, whose remains will be returned to Chiclayo.
