Overview
- Judge of Instruction Court No. 3 closed the probe into the 2018 pier collapse after a ruling on July 22.
- The court’s decision cites the inability to link a specific individual’s act or omission and a causal connection to the collapse.
- Investigators found that the interim head of the municipal works service and the retired engineer under scrutiny lacked maintenance responsibilities for the wooden pier.
- The court confirmed that the instruction phase has ended, barring any new evidence or addition of defendants and offering only appeals as further criminal recourse.
- Parties involved have three business days to seek a judicial review; they may file an appeal after the ruling is officially notified.
