Trujillo Mayor Rules Out Reopening of Real Plaza, Citing Ongoing Probe

He says no formal request to resume operations exists, citing the Ministerio Público’s active investigation.

Overview

  • The mayor confirmed the mall will stay closed indefinitely, rejecting rumors of a restart before the holiday season.
  • The closure follows the February 21 collapse of the food-court ceiling that killed six people and injured about 90.
  • City Hall has received no application to reopen, and any decision depends on prosecutorial findings and technical reports.
  • Grupo Intercorp has reached compensation agreements with injured victims and families of the deceased, according to local reports.
  • La República reported that Indecopi imposed a fine exceeding half a million soles, and Intercorp is planning a separate Plaza Center project at the former Mega Asia site.
