The Malta Developers Association (MDA) welcomes today’s court action by law enforcement authorities over last month’s building collapse in Santa Venera and the tragic events which resulted in an unwarranted death.
The MDA commends the speedy process taken by the authorities over this case, both in concluding the magisterial inquiry and for the arraignment process to commence without delay.
“Without entering into the merits of this specific case or the responsibility of those arraigned, as that is the court’s remit which should be completely respected, the MDA hopes that full justice is served in the shortest possible time”, Dr Marthese Portelli, Director General said.
The MDA also notes that through the various amendments in the law made last summer, following another similar accident, the competent authorities and the courts now have sound, precise and established parameters to determine responsibility in such accidents.
