The owners of the Jet Set nightclub in República Dominicana, Antonio Espaillat López and Maribel Espaillat, were arrested over two months after a roof collapse killed 231 people at the venue on April 8. They were charged with involuntary manslaughter due to alleged negligence in ensuring the building's safety. Both were formally arrested after questioning by the prosecutor Wilson Camacho.
